How Mac-nels Started
Mac-Nels was the brainchild of 4 good friends. Each letter N,E,L,S representing the family name of the four friends were used to symbolise their friendship. As a further symbolization of the fellowship, MAC was used.
Hence, MAC-NELS, a name we are proud of today. Mac-Nels started business on 18th November 1975 in a small rented office in bustling Chinatown. The synergistic approach of its people and established overseas network has contributed to the success and continuous growth of Mac-Nels.
Our related company, Mac-Nels Holdings Pte Ltd, registered in Singapore, has a fully paid-up capital : SG$3 million (=US$2 million).
