Shah Alam, 17 December 2025 – Niro Ceramic Group has been honoured with the Malaysia Good Design Award (MGDA) 2025 for its Slip Stop® collections, under the Architecture and Environment Products category. The award recognises outstanding design excellence that balances innovation, functionality and aesthetic value.
Organised by the Malaysia Design Council, the MGDA is one of the nation’s most respected design awards, celebrating products that demonstrate thoughtful design and meaningful contribution to the built environment. This recognition places Niro Ceramic Group among Malaysia’s leading design-driven manufacturers.
A 2021 Malaysian study published in Frontiers in Public Health found that 31.0% of older adults reported at least one fall, with 4.4% experiencing multiple falls. Slips were the most common cause, accounting for 49% of all falls, highlighting how common fall incidents are and the importance of safer environments and surfaces.
The Slip Stop® collections were developed to address this intersection of design and safety, offering advanced slip resistance while maintaining refined surface aesthetics. Suitable for both residential and commercial applications, the collection contributes to reducing slip hazards in wet or high-traffic areas without compromising on visual appeal.
Commenting on the achievement, Ian Kok, Managing Director of Niro Ceramic Group, said, “Good design goes beyond form. It must also enhance performance and well-being. The Slip Stop® collection embodies this belief, offering practical, everyday safety benefits that address real needs in Malaysian spaces. Being recognised with the MGDA is a testament to our team’s dedication to purposeful innovation.”
This achievement underscores Niro Ceramic Group’s continued investment in design development, advanced manufacturing technologies and research-driven innovation. It also reinforces the company’s role as a trusted partner to architects, designers and developers seeking surfaces that combine performance, durability and design integrity.
