EPB

Our story

A world first, invented in a madrasah lab in Kuala Kangsar.

Most pest control asks you to choose: protect your crops, or protect the animals. In 2015, a research team in Perak refused the choice. If predators keep prey away with nothing but scent, an artificial scent could do the same — no traps, no poison, no harm. That insight became E-Pro Buster, and E-Pro Buster became EPB Global Resources.

2014

EPB Global Resources is founded at Madrasah Idrisiah, Kuala Kangsar, Perak — growing out of the Madrasah Idrisiah Innovation Centre (MIDIC), a unit built to turn applied research into real products.

2015

The MIDIC team, led by Innovation Catalyst Syed Muhammad Azhan bin Syed Hassan, develops the world's first artificial predator-scent repellent: E-Pro Buster.

2016 — 2022

E-Pro Buster earns five international innovation awards and proves itself on farms, plantations and households across Malaysia.

Today

The product range grows to six chemical-free innovations — E-Micro Buster, E-Black Buster, E-Micro Madid, Mimya Pallet and E-2B — with customers and partners in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, and stevia community-farming programs empowering rural growers.

Our mission

To develop sustainable environmental and agricultural solutions that protect ecosystems, support food production and empower rural communities.
