The Outpost Story

As a result of the surge in demand for co-curriculum uniforms following the Ministry of Education’s policy, Camps & Apparels Corporation Sdn Bhd was formed in 1999 with the aim of revolutionising the retail concept by providing quality co-curriculum uniforms that complies with the attire protocol of the respective uniformed bodies.

After obtaining the approval from and endorsement of the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development in 2003, the company launched its first franchised outlet in the royal town of Shah Alam in 2004. In 2007, through a rebranding exercise, it introduced its new retail outlet concept under a new tradename: OUTPOST Uniform. Currently, there are more than 20 OUTPOST retail outlets in Malaysia, located in nearly every state.

Franchising with Outpost Uniform

At Camps & Apparels Corporation, our core product and business lies in the retail of uniforms for school co-curriculum bodies and camping equipment, whether purchased by the student members themselves or by the schools.

The Ministry of Education’s policies – such as the compulsory participation of secondary school students in school co-curriculum bodies, and the assessment of student participation in co-curriculum activities accounting for 10% of total marks for entry into local universities and government scholarships – ensures continuous demand for our uniform products.

Furthermore, all schools receive a substantial annual allocation to make direct purchases for camping equipment for their school activities.

Camps & Apparels Corporation received franchise registration approval from the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Consumer & Co-operatives in 2004. To date, we have 15 franchisees operating 18 OUTPOST Uniform outlets nationwide, where three of our franchisees own and operates two or more outlets.
