Company History

Perspective
In 1980, Singaporean entrepreneur Ron Sim founded R Sim trading, a company dedicated to the sale of home goods, kitchen utensils, wooden massagers and reflexology rollers in Singapore.[6] In 1983, the company opened its first store.[7] Subsequently, the company expanded its operations to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia.[7]
In 1993, the company officially launched the brand name OSIM, [7] a combination of Sim, the surname of its founder, and 'O' which stands for the globe.[1] After rebranding, OSIM focused on health and lifestyle products and continued to expand across Asia.[6]
OSIM was listed on the Singapore Exchange in July 2000,[8][9] selling 25% of the company's shares at the time of listing.[6] The company subsequently de-listed in 2016.[9]
In March 2016, Ron Sim, offered to buy out shares of OSIM to take the company private once again. This followed a significant drop in the company's net income.[10][11]
In 2018, OSIM applied to be listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. However, the plan was aborted due to perceived intense volatility in the market.[8]
In 2021, OSIM was recognized by Deloitte as one of the Best Managed Companies in Singapore.[12] Also in 2021, OSIM expanded to new product categories such as in beauty and gaming.[5]
In March 2022, OSIM International, under the V3 Group, filed for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.[8]
