The Start-Up Journey

The story of Orga Mountainworks is one of passion, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of innovation. It began in 2009 when I made a life-changing decision to leave my job after marriage. Fueled by a deep love for the outdoors and a vision to bring quality gear to adventurers, I started an online store called Outdoor Budget. The store focused on selling second-hand backpacks from Europe to the local market, marking my first step into the outdoor gear industry.

 

On my 39th birthday in 2012, I officially registered Orga Mountainworks as a company, laying the foundation for what would become Malaysia’s trusted outdoor gear brand. I built the website, www.orga.my, and introduced our first logo, featuring a pangolin as our mascot—a symbol of resilience and protection. Initially, I applied for the brand name “Borneo Gear,” but the application was rejected by the trademark registrar. Undeterred, I successfully registered “ORGA” as our official brand name in 2013, marking a new chapter in our journey.

Our Story 3

Starting from humble beginnings, I set up my first design workspace at home, working on a ping-pong table with just one straight-stitch sewing machine. As demand grew, I invested in a walking-foot sewing machine and a second-hand bartack sewing machine, followed by additional straight-stitch machines to increase production capacity. In 2016, I took a significant leap forward by moving into a dedicated sewing workshop, allowing for further expansion.

Our Story 4

Construction site on our new bulding in 2016

In 2017, I introduced our first backpack models, the TT47 and TT27, to the market. A year later, we launched the TT53, a cuben-fiber (DCF) backpack designed for ultralight adventures. By this time, our small but dedicated team had grown to include two full-time sewers and a fleet of ten sewing machines. Our commitment to innovation led to international recognition in 2019, when the TT53 backpack’s back-system was featured in the 9th Manus Award Innovation at Hannover Messe, Germany.

Our Story 5

Orga TT27 launching during Nuang Gathering event 2017

2019 was a breakthrough year for Orga Mountainworks. We expanded into the running gear market by launching our first running vest, the RR Trusmadi, followed by the RR Diwangsa, along with hydration accessories like soft flasks and soft cups. The RR Diwangsa running vest went on to receive the prestigious Malaysia Good Design Award, solidifying our reputation for high-quality, functional gear. That same year, we also participated in our first race event booth at Merapoh, where we connected directly with the running community.

Through every challenge and triumph, the unwavering support from our customers and community has been the driving force behind Orga Mountainworks. From a small home-based setup to a recognized outdoor gear brand, this journey has been made possible by those who believe in us. We are deeply grateful for the support and look forward to continuing our mission to craft innovative gear for adventurers, runners, and explorers.

Our Story 7

Special bag for my beloved mother

This is just the beginning. The path ahead is filled with opportunities, and with your support, Orga Mountainworks will continue to push boundaries and inspire the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts.

The Pandemic Era's & Beyond

In early 2020, we introduced new products, including the RR Berembun running vest and a 500ml soft flask. However, in April 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted operations, forcing our sewing factory to shut down temporarily. Production halted, and workers were unable to continue due to movement restrictions. During this challenging period, I worked alone with just my son and his cousin to give help. Then, I revisited my design notes to find the best concept for our next product. This led to the launch of the RR Peninjau running belt in August 2020.

Our Story 8

Just getting help from the son and his cousin during the early COVID19 pandemic.

Despite the hardships, I refused to give up. By the end of 2020, the prolonged effects of the pandemic nearly forced us to shut down. Determined to survive, I launched the Orga Tee Special Edition in January 2021 to raise capital for outsourcing production. The overwhelming support from our community gave us the opportunity to establish partnerships with sewing workshops in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Guangzhou, China.

Our Story 9

Special edition Orga Lock Down t-shirt was introduced during the pandemic era.

By mid-2021, we introduced the Orga TZWP and later launched a special edition RR Trusmadi for the Iron Bound Adventure Race in December. In August 2022, we began testing Orga GoTrac, a GPS live-tracking system, during the ARWS Rompin event. The following months saw new product innovations, including the RR Kinabalu running vest and our in-house fabric developments: Orga PowerMesh and Orga PolySpandex. These fabrics were integrated into products such as the RR Peninjau V2, RR Mulu, and RR Irau running belt.

Our Story 10

In November 2022, our GPS live tracking system, GoTrac, was successfully used in the Iron Bound adventure race. January 2023 marked the launch of the RR Jerai running belt, incorporating our in-house fabrics for enhanced performance. February 2023 brought the introduction of a newly designed 500ml soft flask with an improved locking system. By March 2023, we had set up a local sewing workshop in Malaysia for assembly work, bringing part of our production closer to home.

Our Story 11

August 2024 saw the launch of our new hybrid gear, RR Rajah—a fusion of running belt and pant design. In November 2024, GoTrac was once again deployed for a major adventure race, the Iron Bound A1 Asia World Cup. As we entered 2025, we introduced our latest innovations: the Orga Running Quiver, an upgraded RR Diwangsa with a back zipper pocket, and the RR Trusmadi with built-in quiver compatibility. The RR Kinabalu also received a significant upgrade with a PowerMesh back panel for enhanced breathability.

Our journey has been one of resilience, adaptation, and continuous innovation. Through challenges and triumphs, we remain dedicated to our mission: crafting high-performance outdoor gear and inspiring people to push beyond their limits. We encourage everyone to strive for greatness; because at Orga Mountainworks, we are truly “Built to Inspire.”

Innovation

At ORGA, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of outdoor gear innovation. We understand that the best products are those that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. That’s why our focus is set on innovating and designing products with three core values in mind: clean, simple, and minimal.

Orga Manus 2019

Our commitment to innovation has been recognized by industry leaders. In 2019, our body-carrying backpack system was shortlisted for the Manus Award 2019 in Cologne, Germany. This system revolutionizes the way backpacks are worn, making them more comfortable and ergonomic. With this system, the weight of the backpack is evenly distributed across the body, reducing strain and improving balance.

Orga Malaysia Good Design Award 2019

In 2019, our RR Series running vest products won the Malaysia Good Design Award from the Malaysia Design Council. These vests are designed to be minimalistic and lightweight, yet still provide ample storage space for all your running essentials. With a breathable fabric and adjustable straps, these vests are comfortable and secure for all your outdoor adventures. This award is a testament to our commitment to creating gear that not only performs well but is also designed great.

Orga UTHM Gold Award

At ORGA, we are constantly striving to improve and innovate our products. We believe that clean, simple, and minimal design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and practical. Our dedication to innovation has earned us recognition and accolades, but more importantly, it has allowed us to provide our customers with gear that is reliable, comfortable, and cutting-edge.

 

We believe that by staying at the forefront of outdoor gear innovation, we can provide our customers with the gear they need to tackle any adventure. So whether you’re a seasoned outdoor enthusiast or a weekend warrior, you can trust Orga to provide you with the latest and greatest in outdoor gear innovation.

ORGA GoTrac

Orga GoTrac

At ORGA, we are committed to creating innovative outdoor gear products that enhance your outdoor experience. Our latest innovation is the ORGA GoTrac system, which is designed to provide GPS trackers, as well as mapping systems, for event organizers, groups, and individuals who want to manage and track their events in real time.

Orga GoTrac Iron Bound event

The ORGA GoTrac system has been tested in major events such as the Iron Bound Adventure 1, an adventure racing event, and the Malaysia Mountain Trail Festival, a trail-running event. These events were the perfect testing ground for our system, as they presented unique challenges and terrain that required accurate tracking and mapping capabilities.

Orga GoTrac ARWS event

During these events, participants were able to use our system to track their progress in real-time, view their live statistics, and compare them with other participants. The system also provided event organizers with a birds-eye view of the event, allowing them to manage and track the event more efficiently.

Orga GoTrac workframe

One of the key features of the ORGA GoTrac system is its user-friendly interface. Participants can easily access the system using their mobile devices or laptops, and the interactive tracking maps make it easy to promote the event and provide spectators with a real-time view of the action.

Green The Earth Practice

Orga Green The Earth Practice

At ORGA, we believe that our commitment to the environment is just as important as our commitment to creating high-quality outdoor gear. That’s why we have implemented our ‘Green Earth Practice’ to pursue knowledge and practices that lead to more environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible decisions.

 

Our ‘Green Earth Practice’ is based on three core values: reduce, reuse, and recycle. By following these values, we aim to protect the environment and sustain its natural resources for current and future generations.

Orga Green The Earth Reduce

We aim to reduce the use of non-recyclable materials, industry waste, non-renewable energy, and paper for documents. We also reduce excess packaging for our products to minimize our impact on the environment.

Orga Green The Earth Practice Reuse

We believe in the importance of reusing old materials for mail packaging, product labels, and product packaging for other storage. We also reuse the excess fabric for other projects and donate our products as free gifts.

Orga Green The Earth Practice Recycle

We are committed to recycling waste based on its materials and using recycled-made items as a priority. We recycle hazardous waste in proper ways and compost acceptable waste. Finally, we recycle more sustainable energy to reduce our carbon footprint.

 

At ORGA, we believe that our ‘Green Earth Practice’ is essential in promoting a healthier and more sustainable environment. We are committed to continuously improving our sustainability practices and are always looking for new ways to reduce our impact on the environment. Together, we can make a difference and protect our planet for future generations.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Orga CSR

At ORGA, we believe that corporate social responsibility is an essential part of our business. That’s why we have established the Orga Foundation, our corporate service responsibility entity, to donate to charitable causes and initiatives.

 

When you purchase ORGA outdoor gear, some of the profits from your purchase will be donated to charity. This donation is our way of giving back to the community and ensuring a good future for our planet.

The Future

At Orga Mountainworks, we understand that nothing lasts forever. The outdoor industry is unpredictable—sometimes we are fortunate, and other times, we face setbacks. But through every challenge, one thing remains constant: our unwavering determination.

Our Story 13

Creating a Malaysian product is easy, but carrying the soul of a true Malaysian-made brand is a far greater challenge. The global outdoor industry rises and falls, and each passing day presents new obstacles. Yet, we embrace these hardships, knowing that growth comes from perseverance.

We may stumble, but we will never surrender. The future of Orga is not something we will simply accept—it is something we will fight for. As time moves forward, we hope that the next generation will continue to carry the torch, inspiring adventurers just as we have.

Orga is more than just a brand; it is a testament to resilience, passion, and the spirit of survival. We strive to make it a proud story—one that showcases how a Malaysian outdoor brand can endure, thrive, and make a difference. Above all, we hope to bring value to others. Be good, do good, and keep moving forward. Insya Allah.
