Dr Tan Cheng Chai AMN is the founder CEO of Stanta Mauser (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd [formerly known as Stanta Metal Drum Sdn Bhd] who has 34 years of solid experience in steel drum industry and holds an Honorary Doctorate in Philosophy (Entrepreneurship). Besides being a strong believer in quality and management principles, Dr Tan always ensures that succession planning embarking on "People Asset" would never be left behind in forming the success equation of an entrepreneur.

Starting out from a used drum trading and reconditioning business back in 1975 with less than 30 employees, Dr Tan has succeeded in building up the "STANTA" brand name and its metal drum empire prior to joining forces with Mauser Group, the world leading industrial packaging provider, in April 2008. The driving force behind the success lies with Dr Tan who has the foresight to release the potential of manufacturing steel drums and thus creating the distinct advantage for Stanta Mauser of being the sole Malaysian owned and fully integrated premium drum manufacturer. Certainly, value creation through innovation and continuous excellence are some of the key success factors for Dr Tan even until today.
