About Eagle Brand
Eagle Brand, the iconic and globally recognized product of Borden Company (Private) Limited, has a rich history rooted in the early 20th century. Originally formulated by the German chemist Wilhelm Hauffmann, the brand gained prominence through its flagship product, the Eagle Brand Medicated Oil, often referred to as the "Green Oil."
Introduced to the Singaporean market by J Lea & Co, the trading house owned by Tan Jim Lay, Eagle Brand Medicated Oil flourished, becoming a trusted remedy in the post-war period. Recognizing its widespread acceptance, Tan Jim Lay seized the opportunity to expand the business. In 1960, Borden Company Ltd was established to take over J Lea & Co, marking a significant chapter in the brand's evolution.
Under Tan Jim Lay's leadership, Borden Company (Private) Limited not only acquired the formulation, bottle design, and trademark of Eagle Brand but also entered into a strategic partnership in 1960 to strengthen its capital base. The company's commitment to quality and innovation led to its growth, with manufacturing and packaging operations moving to its current location at Jalan Kilang in the early 1970s.
Today, Borden Company (Private) Limited stands as a reputable consumer healthcare manufacturing company in Singapore. With a purpose-built 7-storey light industrial building, the company houses state-of-the-art pharmaceutical manufacturing and testing machinery, a showroom, offices, and a warehouse – all operating under cGMP specifications.
Eagle Brand Medicated Oil remains the heart of the company, symbolizing its dedication to providing effective solutions for common ailments, aches, and pains. Boasting a unique green color, distinctive fragrance, and proven pain relief properties, the Medicated Oil has transcended borders, capturing the trust and favor of consumers globally. Notably, it has consistently held the title of Singapore's best-selling medicated oil.
Beyond the flagship product, Borden Company (Private) Limited has expanded its portfolio through dedicated research and development efforts. Today, the company offers a diverse range of consumer healthcare products, including the Muscular Balm, Green Balm, Yellow Balm, Muscle Rub, Capsicum Plaster, Eucalyptus Disinfected Spray, Inhaler, and Eucalyptus Oils range. The recent introduction of innovative products such as the Tea Tree Disinfectant Spray, Eucalyptus Handwash, and Aloe Mint Disinfectant Liquid reflects the company's commitment to addressing evolving health needs, including the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
