Greatech plans new factory in Batu Kawan

KUALA LUMPUR: Greatech Technology Bhd has acquired a piece of land in Batu Kawan, Penang for RM13.36mil cash, as the company seeks to relocate its plant in Lunas, Kedah to a new site closer to its headquarters.

"The acquisition of land is for the construction of a new operational facility," the company said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.

Greatech said it had entered into a deal with Penang Development Corp on Jan 13 to purchase the 5.9 acres site.
