Scha Al-Yahya said, “We are thrilled to be part of this journey to build the Molfix brand among Malaysian parents and to share the experience, uniqueness, and quality of this wonderful product that never fails to bring joy, comfort, and protection to babies. We had the opportunity to experience these and many more when our daughter Lila, who was one year old tried Molfix products. We trust Molfix, and are happy that we decided to partner with a brand that believes in providing the best for mums and babies.”
“In our quest to become one of the leading brands in Malaysia, we will continue to invest in strategic collaborations, embark on innovative marketing strategies, digital marketing, extend our online presence, introduce innovative products, and expand omnichannel, added Mr. Bilgili.
