About MFCCI
The Malaysian French Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MFCCI) was established in October 1991 and as such has now been in existence for more than 12 years.
From its then 19 funding members, MFCCI reached in 2004 a total of over 220 members two-thirds of which being French or French-related companies and individuals and one-third being made of Malaysian companies. Half of the members are corporate entities with a yearly turnover in excess of 10 Million Ringgit, the balance being individuals or Small and Medium Size Enterprises.
When MFCCI started in 1991 it was basically a French business organization under the name of FBO while, at the time, another organization known as MAFRETA (Malaysian French Trade Association) was also active. In 1994, both organizations, for the sake of unity and efficiency, decided to merge and adopted the name MFBO (Malaysian French Business Organization). This was the time when it was officially recognized as a bilateral Chamber of Commerce and, in January 2000, it took the name of Malaysian French Chamber of Commerce (M.F.C.C.I.).
The main objective of MFCCI is to promote the development of business relations between Malaysian and French Companies and to assist its members in liaising with the authorities of both countries so as to enhance bilateral business.
The Chamber has successfully developed its activities in two ways:
First and foremost, direct assistance to French and Malaysian companies for their implantation, indirectly through market survey and study, agent & partner search or directly by providing office space and consultancy services for their set-up & relocation.
Secondly and traditionally, networking activities including the organisation of events for the benefit of the Malaysian French Business community and involving as much as possible the local authorities. In this spirit, the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense as well as the Bank Negara Deputy Governor have all participated in recent MFCCI events. Furthermore, we have a close working relationship with MITI and FMM.
Besides, MFCCI is always following closely bilateral trade negotiations and all activities contributing to the development of business relationship between Malaysia & France, such as issue of the landing rights of Malaysia Airlines in Paris.
When necessary, our organization will also step in to protect the image and integrity of its host country, as illustrated in the protest letter sent to the French Authorities and medias following the release of articles with a tendency to give an unfair image of Malaysia in the wake of the September 11, 2001.
Our President is Mr. Alain Crou˙ and our office is situated at Menara KUB.com, near KLCC. Our Management Team includes a Managing Director seconded by a General Manager together with 7 upport staff.
MFCCI is a private organization not directly related with the French Authorities and meant to be self-sufficient and generate resources to cover its operational expenses standing over one million Ringgit per Year.
However, MFCCI is affiliated to UCCIFE (Union of French Chambers of Commerce & Industry Overseas) and as such participate in the networking of French Business overseas engineered by the French Private Sector organizations such as ACFCI (Assembly of Regional French Chambers of Commerce in France).
