The Boatmakers…

Posted on By Reedz

Was in Tutong this morning getting my fix of Soto Hj Tuah after which I dropped by an old friend’s fibreglass fabrication workshop. I hadn’t been there in some time and it looks like business is humming away very nicely.

Seri Melati Enterprise has been around for quite some time, since 1977. It started as a small boat-making workshop catering to the local fishing community and has since grown into quite a sizeable company producing boats in all shapes in sizes. They’ve even launched their own range of fibreglass boats under the brand of AMIRA.

Aside from boats, these guys also fabricate all sorts of fibreglass items like fish-tanks, tables, slides, planter-boxes, and even giant teapots like the one at one of the roundabouts in Kuala Belait. They are also well-known for fabricating and installing automotive body kits.

Very cool… If you have a sudden urge to buy a custom-made fishing or leisure boat, or even to pimp your ride with a custom body-kit, give them a call at 4222224.
