It was incorporated on November 15, 2018 with an issued and paid-up capital of RM300,000 consisting 300,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each owned by Mr Andy and Mrs Andy in equal proportion. At this point the only asset owned by ATSB was cash amounting RM300,000.

To finance the construction of the factory, ATSB obtained a term loan facility of RM10 million from BBN Bhd and increased its paid-up capital to RM1 million, and the amount due to shareholders of RM700,000 was converted to equity by the issuance of 700,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 to Mr Andy and Mrs Andy in equal proportion on July 1, 2020.
