Who Giovan is
Giovan Resources was registered in 2007 and runs two licensed plants: a larger one in Rawang and a smaller one in the KIP industrial park, Sri Damansara. NPRA lists 140 skincare products for 65 client brands.
What it is like to start a brand here
Giovan positions itself around cosmeceutical skincare. It does not publish starter terms, and very little of its client output is halal-listed.
What the registry shows
NPRA names Giovan on 140 skincare products for 65 client brands, with a well-spread client base (top three ≈ 26%). Only two client skincare products are JAKIM-listed.
Giovan runs two licensed plants: Rawang, about 3,930 m² of roof on satellite imagery, and a smaller unit in the KIP industrial park at Sri Damansara, about 1,480 m². The website says “25 years”; SSM shows July 2007. ISO 22716, 9001, 14001 and 45001 are claimed without certificate numbers.
Questions to ask before you sign
- Which plant would make my product?
- Can you share ISO certificate numbers and issuers?
- What cosmeceutical actives do you have ready formulas for?
- What MOQ applies to a first order?
Our verdict
Worth a quote for clinic-style skincare in the Klang Valley; not the right fit for halal-first brands.
