Lionex (M) Sdn Bhd was established in 1971 as the purchasing office for the then Fetim/Bekol group. In the late seventies, Lionex moved to Singapore and developed into an exporter of mainly Indonesian timber that was inspected and dried in Singapore before finding its way to the European market. When, in the eighties, the flow of wood shifted from Indonesia to Malaysia, Lionex returned to Kuala Lumpur.

In the mid-nineties Lionex, together with the Dutch company Bekol International, was taken over by DPW van Stolk Holding, a timber company operating internationally and based in Rotterdam. Since 2000 Lionex has developed an extensive portfolio of value added timber products for its European customers including Komo fingerjointed and laminated components, a range of mouldings and a complete flooring program.

The majority of the products from Lionex are being channelled to the DIY- markets, Construction firms and factories producing doors and windows in The Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, Greece, Czech Republic, Turkey and Austria. In certain markets in Europe, Lionex operates on a direct concept, whereby in Austria, France and Italy, Lionex is working together with exclusive marketing partners.
