Ron Sim founded OSIM International Ltd, and has been instrumental in building OSIM into the global brand it is today.

He began in 1979 with a trading company selling general household items and later branched into home healthcare products. Mr Sim then expanded the business overseas to Hong Kong in 1986 and Taiwan in 1987. By the early 1990’s he had made the company an Asian household name in well being and healthy lifestyle products.

Under his leadership, OSIM was publicly listed on the main board of the Singapore Exchange (SGX) in July 2000 and has now transformed into a global brand in healthy lifestyle products. Today OSIM has over 1,100 outlets in more than 360 cities over 31 countries in Asia, Oceania, Africa the Middle East, Europe and North America.
