Astino Berhad (Astino - 7162) could be known as just another steel player that had major presence in the northern region of the Peninsula Malaysia. Unlike other steel maker that focused on various steel bars, rods and pipes, Astino offer a  a wider range of steel products such as netting system, scaffolding, sunroof, spandec, bendec and ceiling panel.

While steel business in the northern region of the Peninsula continue to be competitive due to lack of demand in the public infrastructure development as well as competitive imports, it is imperative for steel player to evolve into a different steel industry player by offering niche market solutions through creating new building material as well as providing EPC solution as well.  This is what Astino had been doing, which is the core reason why Astino stand out among other steel player in the region. For Astino, being the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) player in the Agro House is the way going forward to see the company striving through different stages of market.
