Dear Members and Friends,

Trade associations play a vital role in every country. They bring together executives and professionals from private companies, united by a common purpose: to connect, collaborate, and address the shared business challenges of their industry, all while championing the interests of the consumers they serve. This mission takes shape through initiatives such as advocacy, fostering partnerships, and driving collaboration.

While the tangible benefits of membership and participation—such as business opportunities and resources—are significant, the true value often lies in the intangible. Over the past 33 years, many of us who have been part of the CTFAS journey have experienced something even more meaningful: enduring friendships built on trust and shared purpose. These bonds remain the cornerstone of our collective success and a testament to the power of the CTFAS community.

I wish you all happy holidays and a successful New Year 2025!

Sincerely,

Andrew GAN,
President
The Cosmetic, Toiletry & Fragrance Association of Singapore (CTFAS)
