Straits Technics Sdn. Bhd. (STSB) (formelly known as Straits Electrical Sdn. Bhd.) was incorporated under the Registrar of Companies in 1982 as local Malaysian Bumiputera company. It was founded by the late Haji Daud and family and the paid up capital was RM 50,000.00. At that time most of the projects carried out were from government agencies such as the Public Works Department (PWD), Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), and Seberang Perai Municipal Council (MPSP). Almost all the projects implemented had to do with the wiring of schools and low-voltage electrical work.

In May 1995, the company was taken over by a professional and innovative management team, ably led by Ir. Adham Bin Salleh. Since then, the company has grown from strength-to-strength as its activities have branched from the supply and installation of air conditioning systems, electrical installations for the control equipment to the installation of electrical systems for substations up to 33KV. In 1996, the company was recognized as a charismatic Bumiputera Construction Contractor. In 2000, the company was awarded the Village Street Light project by the Ministry of Rural valued at RM 1.5 million.

In 2002 the company was awarded the project to design, supply and install electrical systems for the Nibong Tebal Industrial Training Institute under the auspices of the Ministry of Human Resources with total value of RM 10.5 million.

On February 2016, Ir. Ts Amir Shafiq Bin Adham was appointed as Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer for STSB. Under his management, STSB has further reinforced its vision and mission to become a leading contractor in the country specializing in mechanical and electrical systems. In line with these aspirations, we have been working in partnership with local and foreign companies which have the expertise in the fields of air conditioning, water pump and high-voltage electric systems. Some of the companies that work with us are Acson Malaysia Sales & Service Sdn. Bhd, Sime Darby Electropack Sdn. Bhd. and Midea Scott & English Electronics Sdn. Bhd. This collaboration is expected to further strengthen our company in terms of commercial and technical areas in order to serve the community vis–à–vis the 2020 national vision.

On 21st December 2016, STSB had been selected to join the UEM Vendor Development Program. The objective of this program is to develop the vendor to become more competitive in the national and international level.

Currently, STSB have plans to further strengthen the three business pillars over a period of 9 years between 2016 and 2025 which have been enshrined in the company's strategic plan. It includes a conventional business that focuses on the inclusion of the tender, retail and online businesses where our services and products continue to be sold to the end-user, and a branch-based single distribution where our focus is to market mechanical or electrical equipment highlighting the fact that we are the exclusive agents - the only company to be granted distribution rights for the product in the country.
