EG Industries prepares for increased higher-margin orders

Group chief executive officer and executive director Datuk Alex Kang attributes EG Industries’ lower margin to its “different product mix”. Speaking to StarBizWeek, Kang says 80% of EG Industries’ revenue is from the lower-margin printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) segment.

EG Industries Bhd tends to go under the radar when one talks about listed electronic manufacturing services (EMS) players in Malaysia.

But, unknown to many, EG Industries has a predominantly international clientele, including Dyson, which it has served for more than a decade. However, while the group says it is one of the top-50 EMS players globally, its market capitalisation of RM195.8mil is only a fraction of the other major players in the sector.
