KUALA LUMPUR: Home-grown burger business Ramly group's revenue is expected to surge to RM2 billion from RM1bil as its new production plant in Pulau Indah, Selangor becomes fully operational in 2018.
The first phase of the complex, slated for completion at the end of next year, will expand the group's production capacity to 300 tonnes daily from 100 tonnes now, founder and managing director Datuk Ramly Mokni said on Wednesday.
The capacity will increase by another 300 tonnes once the second phase comes into operation, he said after a visit to the plant by International Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan.
Business growth is currently stagnant as the existing facility is already running at full capacity, he said.
The new complex will have storage depots, Halal logistics, a training centre as well as a research and development centre.
The increase in production capacity would also enable Ramly Group to increase exports to the ASEAN region, the Middle East, Europe, Japan and Korea, as part of the company's expansion plan.
The group currently exports to Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Also present at the event was Halal Industry Development Corporation Chief Executive Officer Datuk Seri Jamil Bidin. - Bernama
