The Sub-Committee on Solder, formed in 1993, comprising the major solder companies as its members with Mr. Lim Cheng Sang, a Past-President, as its Convenor.

The primary objective of this Sub-Committee is to provide a forum for deliberating matters of common interests of solder company members of the Association. In addition, it considers views and proposals on issues affecting the tin solder sub-sector and where appropriate raises them with the Management Committee of the Association for endorsement and for subsequent submission to the relevant authorities, if necessary.

A major issue which the Sub-Committee continued to deliberate concerns the matter of instilling appropriate discipline amongst members of the Sub-Committee with regard to their marketing and pricing arrangements in order that efforts to support research and development for their products could be enhanced. Members of the Sub-Committee have continued to cooperate in ensuring fair competition and trade in the local solder market.

The Newsletter Editorial Sub-Committee has also been active in editing the four quarterly issues of the Association's official newsletter published each year. The newsletter called "The Malaysian Tin Products" has a circulation of 250 copies per issue.
