ROYAL BRUNEI TECHNICAL SERVICES
From its establishment in 1998 as an acquisition
agency specialising in the procurement of
strategic and sensitive equipment for defence
and security agencies in Brunei Darussalam,
RBTS has since evolved by expanding its
capabilities and has recently transformed its
core business into offering Asset’s life cycle
management (LCM) solutions.
LCM is an integrated approach to optimising the
life cycle of an asset beginning at the conceptual
design stage, acquiring the asset, operating
and maintenance, continuing through the asset
lifespan up to the decommissioning stage.
By incorporating a holistic approach, RBTS
optimises its customer asset performance with
a lower whole life cycle cost (ownership cost).
To achieve this, RBTS has organised its business
into three main areas: engineering, logistics
(supply chain management), and training.
RBTS is also actively expanding into new areas
of business this year by acquiring Darussalam
Pilotage Services Sdn Bhd as a subsidiary
company, to tap into the increasing market
demand for ports and shipping services.
Engineering Optimal Readiness
RBTS Engineering offers a range of engineering
and project management services that fit into the
RBTS core business of lifecycle management.
Operating out of its fully equipped Vehicle
Maintenance Centre (VMC) located at the
Salar Industrial Area, the facility has recently
undergone a major upgrade to cater to increasing
demands for its comprehensive maintenance,
repair and overhaul (MRO) services with
expertise in specialised vehicles and systems
such as military vehicles, fire rescue vehicles
and systems, special operations vehicles,
ambulances, and other similar platforms – which
serves both the government and private sector.
RBTS will also be launching its Electronic
Maintenance Centre in 2021, working with
established brand names such as Furuno
and Astrophysics. This is all part of its plans
to establish itself in the industry as a one-
stop agency for all engineering services and
eventually become the leading engineering
solutions provider in Brunei.
Supply Chain Ef ciency - A New
Frontier in Healthcare
RBTS Logistics focusses on the whole supply
chain management. Its key areas of expertise
include procurement, warehousing management
(including planning and forecasting, inventory
management), transportations of goods,
exportation and importation of cargo (specialising
in handling dangerous goods).
2020 marked a major milestone for RBTS
Logistics where it was appointed by the
Ministry of Health for the outsourcing of their
