About Us

MBA Group of Companies stands as a symbol of resilience, growth, and visionary leadership. From humble beginnings, the Group has steadily evolved into a diverse and successful business entity, proudly rooted in Malaysia yet reaching far beyond.
The journey began with the establishment of Orion Base Shipping (M) Sdn. Bhd., which laid the foundation for MBA’s presence in the shipping and forwarding industry. At the helm was Dato’ Mustafa Alias, a highly respected figure with more than 35 years of experience in local shipping and forwarding. Recognised as a man of integrity and wisdom, his reputation within the industry and the nation became the cornerstone on which MBA was built. Dato’ Mustafa’s leadership not only guided the Group to early success but also instilled the values of perseverance, reliability, and trust that remain central to MBA’s identity today.

Over the years, the Group has expanded strategically, venturing into new sectors and proving its ability to adapt and excel. This success is the result of both strong foundations and the courage to embrace change.

Today, MBA enters a new era under the leadership of Muhammad Amirul Hafiz, the nextgeneration who carries forward his father’s legacy with renewed vision and modern ambition. Young, dynamic, and forward-looking, Amirul Hafiz embodies the spirit of progress whileremaining firmly grounded in the values that define MBA.

A Legacy of Leadership

Over the years, I have been privileged to witness the remarkable growth and transformation of Malaysia’s shipping and forwarding industry. What began as a personal pursuit in 1975 has evolved into a journey filled with challenges, lessons, and achievements that I carry with deep pride.

From overseeing complex logistics operations across the globe to pioneering new opportunities in Port Klang, my career has always been guided by the principles of integrity, trust, and responsibility. These values became the foundation upon which MBA Group of Companies was built.

The road has not been without its trials, but every challenge strengthened our foundation and broadened our vision. Today, MBA Group stands as a symbol of resilience and progress—a testament to what can be achieved when hard work is driven by determination and foresight.

As the Group moves forward under the capable leadership of the next generation, I take great pride in seeing my children uphold the same values and carry forward the legacy we began together. The future belongs to those who dare to innovate and adapt, and I am confident that MBA will continue to grow, creating a lasting impact for industries, communities, and the nation.
