The factory contains a large amount of equipment that is used in the manufacture of clothes. The company owns both the factory and the land on which the factory stands.

In recent years, there has been a property boom in that district with residential houses prices doubling such that the average price of a house is approximately RM800,000. A recent valuation of the land on which the factory stands as performed by a property valuation group and based on recent sales of land in the area has the land at a value of RM1.2 million. The land is now considered prime residential property given its closeness to the city and, with its superb sea views, its suitability for building service apartments.
