Machinery

The development of the machinery industry in Malaysia emerged primarily to serve the agro-based and tin mining sectors. It has since transformed from general fabrication and machining works to the assembly of higher-end machinery modules and components, including the manufacturing of heavy machinery. The industry now produces a wide variety of machinery and equipment for various uses, such as power generation, specific industry processing, metalworking and general industrial activities. It also supports a number of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), which are capable of producing machinery and equipment for both domestic and export markets.

Malaysia’s export of machinery is generated from four major sub- sectors: Specialised process machinery or equipment for specific industries, Metalworking machinery, Power generating machinery and equipment and General industrial machinery & equipment, components and parts. This industry’s top export destinations include Singapore, the USA, Japan, Germany, the UK, Thailand, Hong Kong and China.

‘Manufacturing Quality Machines and Parts for the World’ Malaysia produces high quality machines and parts to meet the needs of the global manufacturing, agricultural and construction industries with the latest technologies, state of the art equipment and highly qualified and innovative manpower.

Malaysia is also a well-known producer of hydraulic machines with press capacities ranging from 20 to 3,000 tonnes and exports to Japan, Saudi Arabia and ASEAN countries. The country is also the largest manufacturing hub for boilers in Southeast Asia and local producers have the capability to manufacture and supply high-grade and internationally accepted industrial boilers such as utility boilers, water tube boilers, fire tube boilers, package boilers and combination boilers. These are mainly exported to Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Cambodia. Malaysia also leads in the export of elevators and escalators. Exports are directed mainly to ASEAN countries, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, India, Bangladesh, Australia and Eastern Africa.
