KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Maran Timber Sdn. Bhd., a leading Malaysian timber exporter, has become the first company in the country to achieve European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance using the cutting-edge Proteus platform from #dltledgers, a Singapore-based digital supply chain solutions provider.
