Incorporated as a collaborative research project known as the Plant Biotechnology Laboratory with CIRAD, a French R & D organization in 1989, YSG Bioscape Sdn Bhd is now a wholly owned subsidiary company under the Yayasan Sabah Group (Sabah Foundation Group). The Company specializes in the mass production of tissue culture plantlets of selected superior genotypes of teak (Tectona grandis) and Acacia hybrids for large-scale plantation establishments at the local and international levels.

Since its inception, the Company has accomplished several significant milestones and has transcended from being a pilot project and its original role as a biotechnology R & D showcase for the Group. These include its transformation into a fully commercialized entity at a bigger facility in the capital city of Sabah, Kota Kinabalu in year 2003, followed by the conferment of a BioNexus Status by the Malaysian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation in year 2008. The year 2007 represents a landmark year in which the Company managed to hit its millionth mark in revenue turnover within four years after its inception as a commercial subsidiary. In year 2010 and 2011, the Company registered the trademark “Top Teak” for its teak planting materials in Australia (No. 1281521) and Malaysia (No. 08017224) respectively.
