  QES Mechatronic Sdn Bhd, a prominent subsidiary of QES Group Berhad, has announced a groundbreaking new venture in Batu Kawan Industrial Park. The state-of-the-art facility, known as “QES 2@BKIP,” signifies a significant leap forward for the global semiconductor equipment manufacturer, showcasing an impressive RM40 million investment. The plant will be used to double QES manufacturing  capacity, and house the joint venture company, Applied Engineering Technology (M) Sdn. Bhd. with its  USA counterpart Applied Engineering Inc

  The groundbreaking ceremony, presided over by QES Group Managing Director, Mr. Chew Ne Weng, along with executive Directors Mr. Liew Soo Keang, Mr. Lim Chee Keong, Mr. Lee Hock Chin, and other senior management, marks a pivotal moment for QES in reinforcing its reputation as a global frontrunner in automated inspection and handling equipment for the semiconductor industry.

  Mr. Chew Ne Weng emphasised the strategic importance of the new plant in meeting the surging global demand for semiconductor manufacturing. “QES 2@BKIP demonstrates that QES is committed to driving efforts to fulfill the increasing capacity demands, improve business continuity, and provide a strategic risk mitigation plan to our Manufacturing Division,” he stated.

  With a vast land size of approximately 87,120 square feet and an estimated build-up of 83,488 square feet, QES 2@BKIP is projected to commence operations by the fourth quarter of 2024. The comprehensive investment of RM40 million covers land acquisition, construction, state-of-the-art facilities, and the skilled workforce necessary to propel QES to new heights.

  This strategic expansion is poised to double QES’s manufacturing capacity, a move strategically aligned with the long-term global growth trends in the semiconductor industry. Moreover, QES 2@BKIP is set to house a joint venture with Applied Engineering Technology (M) Sdn. Bhd. and its USA counterpart, Applied Engineering Inc., further enhancing QES’s position in the international market.

  One of the notable outcomes of this venture is the creation of around 100 job opportunities within the next three years. These roles will span across various functions, including engineers, technicians, administrative, and executive personnel, contributing to both the local economy and QES’s sustained growth.

  As QES Group embarks on this ambitious endeavor, it underscores the company’s commitment to innovation, global leadership, and its role in steering the semiconductor industry towards a robust and prosperous future.

• QES Group Berhad Empowers ESG via Its New RM40 Million Manufacturing Plant in Penang (Mar 29, 2024)

  PENANG, 18 MARCH 2024 – QES Group Berhad (QES), a global leader in the semiconductor industry, is advancing in its commitment to sustainable practices and innovation, aligning with Malaysia’s vision to be a front-runner in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) leadership in Southeast Asia.  This commitment is exemplified through its latest initiative; the establishment of RM40 million plant in Batu Kawan Industrial Park, Penang (QES 2@BKIP) and its adoption of solar energy as a renewable source to decrease reliance on conventional electricity.

  QES 2@BKIP is designed to minimise its environmental impact and integrate with its surroundings, aiming to achieve green building certification by utilising eco-friendly materials and implementing renewable energy solutions. This project is expected to create 100 high-quality job opportunities within 3 years.

  YB Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) remarked, “The New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030 has clearly laid out Malaysia’s industrial reform journey towards achieving higher economic complexity, technological prowess, sustainability, as well as economic inclusivity. The convergence of two or more of these objectives through NIMP’s target sectors will help speed up our industrial reform, and we see this in QES’s upcoming plant where innovative hi-tech semiconductor manufacturing meets sustainability. Such convergence will also help Malaysia’s manufacturing sector move up the global value chain more quickly, while creating better-paying jobs for our people, and contributing to our net zero future.”

  Datuk Wira Arham Abdul Rahman, CEO of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), highlights the significance of the ESG theme in reshaping contemporary business practices, particularly within the semiconductor industry. He commends QES, stating, “QES’s sustainability goals dovetail seamlessly with the prevailing trend among companies and investors to prioritise ESG considerations. I am heartened to see their dedication to innovation and sustainability, evidenced by their prioritisation of renewable energy solutions and eco-friendly materials. With ESG now a top priority, collaborative partnerships are essential for semiconductor firms to make progress on decarbonisation. MIDA stands fully supportive of such endeavours, recognising their potential to not only generate high-quality job opportunities but also shape a more sustainable future for generations to come.”

  “QES is committed and taking significant steps in achieving our ESG milestones as we recognise the undeniable importance of sustainable practices, therefore we prioritise achieving operational profitability whilst focusing on the ESG criteria as critical components in business sustainability. QES is confident that QES 2@BKIP will further reinforce our presence and foster our efforts for growth and success” said Chew Ne Weng, Group Managing Director of QES Group Berhad.

  Simultaneously, QES 2@BKIP will be used to house the joint venture company, Applied Engineering Technology (M) Sdn. Bhd. (“AETM”) with its USA counterpart Applied Engineering Inc. This will double AETM’s factory space from its current rented facility of 18,000 square feet to approximately 30,000 square feet and doubling its manpower requirements over the next 3 years.

  With a focus on ESG principles, QES is poised to lead the way towards a more sustainable future, positioning the company as a leader in the semiconductor industry and in Malaysia’s vision for a sustainable future.
