    JAKEL TRADING was founded by Mohamed Jakel bin Ahmad on 24 January 1983 in Muar, Johor. In its early days, Jakel Trading started off a textile wholesale supplier to small retailers around Muar town.In 1985, Jakel opened a branch in Segamat, Johor. With an additional capital investment of RM500,000, Jakel expanded its operations through retail trading and supplying textiles to both government and private agencies. Thanks to a combination of business acumen and sound management, Jakel successfully weathered the 1997 economic downturn and grew from strength to strength.Jakel has initiated a great change in local entrepreneurship: while the textile business was once monopolised by foreigners, it is now proudly led by Bumiputera entrepreneurs. Thus, Jakel has firmly established its premium position at the forefront of the local textile industry.
