Company Profile:
The entity IBM SINGAPORE P/L-APPLH C/O:SCHENKER S'PORE PTE LTD is not a single, unified company that is exclusively a factory or a simple trading company in Malaysia.
IBM (International Business Machines) is a global technology and consulting corporation. Its primary activities include the research, development, manufacture (for some hardware components and systems), marketing, and sale of computer hardware, software, and IT services.
The "IBM SINGAPORE P/L-APPLH" likely refers to a specific business unit, profit and loss center, or division of IBM in Singapore, which is involved in the sales, distribution, and service of IBM products and solutions. This function primarily aligns with a sales and distribution model, where it sells and delivers technology products (which could be manufactured by IBM or its partners) and provides services.
"C/O:SCHENKER S'PORE PTE LTD" indicates that Schenker Singapore Pte Ltd, a logistics and freight forwarding company, is handling the transportation, customs clearance, and delivery services on behalf of IBM. Schenker is a service provider, not involved in manufacturing or directly trading the goods themselves.
Therefore, the IBM entity described primarily operates as a sales and distribution arm for its technology products and services, acting more like a vendor/trading entity for its own goods and services rather than a manufacturing factory. It is not a factory.
