We are pleased to share that, as of 9 September 2025, KLINGER Holding has officially acquired all activities of the SJP Group of Companies.
For SJP customers, this marks a new era: your trusted supplier is now part of the internationally active KLINGER Group, a stable and innovative family-owned organisation with over 135 years of experience. The same products, suppliers and service you rely on continue unchanged — now strengthened by KLINGER’s global network.
For KLINGER, particularly in Southeast Asia, the acquisition strengthens regional presence and expands capabilities, creating additional value and support across the market.
With the retirement of founder and Chairman Stephen Tan, the company now enters this new era under KLINGER. Kevin Woolley, Managing Director of KLINGER Australia, will also serve as Managing Director of SJP. Pamela Koay, who has been leading SJP, will continue as Chief Operating Officer.
What this means in practice:
Trusted leadership and team remain in place. The full SJP team stays on, ensuring continuity of expertise and customer service.
“This acquisition is an important milestone for both KLINGER and SJP,” said Kevin Woolley, Managing Director of KLINGER Australia and SJP. “Together we combine local knowledge and long-standing customer relationships with the global strength and resources of the KLINGER Group. I am excited to work closely with the SJP team to support our customers across Southeast Asia.”
Pamela Koay, Chief Operating Officer of SJP, added: “Joining the KLINGER Group marks the start of a new era for SJP. Our customers will continue to work with the same people and products they trust, while also gaining the benefits of KLINGER’s international expertise and support. I look forward to continuing our journey together, building on the strong foundation created by Stephen.”
Shared values and long-term vision. Stephen Tan built SJP on a strong foundation of quality, service and customer trust. The partnership with KLINGER reflects a shared commitment to these values, while opening the door to further growth and international reach.
Existing agreements remain unchanged. All current orders, terms and contact persons stay the same.
Access to a broader portfolio. SJP customers now have access to KLINGER’s full range of sealing and fluid control solutions.
This step combines the best of both worlds: SJP’s established local expertise and customer relationships with KLINGER’s global strength and scale. By coming together, KLINGER and SJP reaffirm their long-term commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality and forward-looking solutions — today and into the future.
