Malaysia’s Pioneering Asset Auction House (Est. 2004)
“We are your Auction Marketplace for ASSETs including properties, banknotes, antique / art pieces and more.”
MNP commenced its operation by conducting foreclosure auction of real estate. MNP Auctioneers Sdn. Bhd. was established in 2004 and is today a well known auction company with offices in Penang and Kuala Lumpur.

MNP further strengthened its asset auction market leadership when it launched the inaugural Straits Chinese Antique Auction in May 2017.
MNP was awarded ISO 9001:2008 in Quality Management System in year 2010 and further upgraded to ISO 9001:2015 in year 2018.
