KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian retailer AEON Co (M) Bhd has partnered Thailand’s leading furniture and home decorative retailer Index Living Mall Co Ltd to open its first furniture store called Indexlivingmall at the IOI City Mall in Putrajaya.
AEON Malaysia managing director Nur Qamarina Chew said the company is optimistic of its new venture.
“With our ‘customer-first’ philosophy, AEON will continue to accelerate business in the Asean region, with the goal of becoming Asia’s number one retailer,” she said on Saturday.
Indexlivingmall offers home lovers a dedicated 5,704 sq m store of infinite ideas and design inspiration of home furniture and decorative items.
The furniture retail mall will be managed by AEON Index Living Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between AEON Malaysia and Index Living Mall Thailand to provide customers in Asean, especially Malaysia, with homes furnishing of superior quality and designs at affordable prices.
Index Living Mall Thailand’s founder and chief executive Pisith Patamasatayasonthi said the company began more than four decades ago as a humble metal furniture manufacturer to become a leading furniture manufacturer in Thailand today.
