KKB Engineering Berhad (KKB) has its humble beginning way back in 1962 as a small engineering workshop in Sarawak founded and operated by the present Executive Chairman, Dato Sri Kho Kak Beng which was then undertaking modest steel fabrication works.

The business was officially registered as a sole proprietorship in 1966 with the progression into steel fabrication works for factory buildings and products. The Company was incorporated on 20 February 1976 as private limited company under the name of Kho Kak Beng Welding and Engineering Contractor Sdn Bhd. On 23 March 1994, it was converted into a public limited company.

Much due to its past success, proven track records and phenomenal achievement, the Company was listed on the Second Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 9 November 1994. The status of the Company was later transferred to the Main Board under the present re-classification of "Industrial Products & Services Sector" with a Sub-sector of "Industrial Engineering" on 24 September 2018.

From an engineering base, the growth of the Company continues to be driven by further expansion and diversification into manufacturing activities such as steel pipes and pipe specials manufacturing, LP Gas Cylinders manufacturing and the latest business activity in the Oil & Gas Sector.
