KUALA LUMPUR: George Kent (M) Bhd
has bagged a contract to deliver water meters to Hong Kong’s Water Supplies Department (WSD) for the second time.
Under the US$6.86mil (RM28.72mil) contract, the company would supply 650,000 DN15 Brass PSM-T water meters to WSD in 24 shipments within two years, it told Bursa Malaysia.
The bid was made under the company’s subsidiary, George Kent International Pte Ltd.
George Kent secured its first contract to supply water meters to WSD back in 2015. That US$7.17mil deal involved the supply of 600,000 meters.
The metering and engineering company noted that the latest contract would be the largest single order it had ever clinched from a single source in its metering business history.
“This remarkable achievement is a testament of the market’s confidence, trust and belief in our technical expertise and competitiveness in meeting the utmost discerning requirements in international standards,” group chairman Tan Sri Tan Kay Hock said in a statement to Bursa Malaysia.
To-date, George Kent is the only Malaysian company that has successfully secured large water meter contracts from both Hong Kong and Singapore water authorities at the same time.
Last year, the company secured a tender to supply 323,630 water meters to Singapore’s Public Utilities Board, marking its third consecutive tender win from the republic.
