KUALA LUMPUR: Oxford Innotech Bhd
said its expansion plans are on track with trial runs at its new Penang Science Park (PSP) facility showing encouraging progress.
"We expect to commence mass production at our PSP Factory 2 (Phase 1) in the coming months upon completion of the trial runs, thus elevating our total manufacturing footprint to 125,174 sq ft.
"The additional capacity positions us to capture the rising demand across semiconductors, electrical and electronics (E&E), and modular building systems sectors,” said managing director Ng Thean Gin in a statement.
According to Ng, the 39,392 sq ft manufacturing facility, which was completed in May 2025, will feature two advanced machines as key additions.
The Coil Form Laser Cutting Machine is engineered to process sheet metal of up to six metres in length with high precision, resulting in a reduction of material wastage by between 10% and 20%.
Meanwhile, the Large Form Tube Laser Cutting Machine is undergoing trials for structural applications, with the capability of handling tubing and structural steel of up to 12 metres in length.
On the business development end of things, Ng said the group is seeing stronger engagement from customers.
"More of our component parts have now received customer approval, setting the stage for future manufacturing orders.
"As the new facility comes on stream, we will be able to serve customers more effectively, deepen collaboration and hence, strengthen our market presence,” he added.
The group plans to further expand its production capacity by constructing another plant under Phase 2. This is expected to add a further 67,722 sq ft to the group’s total manufacturing area, for a total of 192,896 sq ft by 2027.
