KUALA LUMPUR: PMW International Bhd
's wholly owned subsidiary, PMW Marketing Sdn Bhd, has secured an RM11.84mil contract from Global Technological Support Sdn Bhd (GTS) to supply and deliver pre-stressed spun concrete poles for the Point of Presence Phase 2 (POP2) infrastructure and fibre optics hub project.
The agreement, which runs until Oct 31, 2026, covers the supply and delivery of concrete poles for infrastructure works under the POP2 project.
The POP2 project is part of Malaysia's broadband expansion initiative aimed at strengthening the country's fibre optic infrastructure and improving internet connectivity, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
Supported by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and Digital Ministry, the project has an allocation of about RM3.9bil to develop 3,693 POP sites nationwide.
In a statement, PMW executive director and chief executive officer Lee Hon Hwa said the contract reinforces the group's participation in Malaysia's telecommunications and digital infrastructure development.
"This agreement reinforces PMW's continuing participation in Malaysia's telecommunications and digital infrastructure development ecosystem.
“As Malaysia progresses in broadband expansion and digital connectivity, we are pleased to contribute through the supply of infrastructure products that support fibre network deployment and last-mile connectivity initiatives," he said.
Lee added that the award comes shortly after the group secured a RM11.92mil illion spun pile supply order from SL Virtue Sdn Bhd in May, reflecting customer confidence in PMW's product quality, operational capabilities and delivery track record across multiple infrastructure sectors.
The latest contract expands PMW's involvement in the POP project following its participation in Phase 1, which supported the development of POP sites in Kedah, Perak, Johor, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka.
PMW said it remains optimistic on the outlook for Malaysia's infrastructure sector, supported by continued investments in utilities, telecommunications and digital infrastructure, and intends to leverage its engineering expertise and nationwide manufacturing footprint to support future infrastructure projects.
