KUALA LUMPUR: IJM Corporation Bhd
’s (IJM Corp) wholly owned subsidiary, IJM Construction Sdn Bhd, has secured two fast-track semiconductor and medical technology projects worth a combined RM909.5 million for its financial year 2027 (FY2027) contract wins.
One project is a RM455 million contract for the civil, structural and architectural works of an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) warehouse for a multinational technology company's semiconductor facility in Kulim, Kedah. The other project is a RM454.5 million medical device manufacturing facility for Intuitive Surgical Malaysia Sdn Bhd at Bandar Cassia Technology Park, Batu Kawan, Penang.
Both projects are being delivered on fast-track schedules of less than 18 months, the company said in a statement.
IJM Corp group chief executive officer and managing director Datuk Lee Chun Fai said semiconductor and medical device manufacturing facilities are becoming increasingly complex and time-critical, with customers placing greater emphasis on execution certainty and the ability to deliver projects to demanding technical standards.
"Over the past few years, IJM Construction has built a strong portfolio across data centres, semiconductor and electrical and electronics manufacturing facilities. The intuitive project represents an important breakthrough for us in medical device manufacturing, extending our capabilities into an adjacent high-value sector while building on the same core strengths in engineering and fast-track execution,” he added.
According to IJM Corp, the new facility will support the manufacture of intuitive surgical instruments and electromechanical devices used in minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery, and is IJM Construction's second medical device manufacturing project.
The group’s construction division has an outstanding order book of RM 14.51 billion, comprising a mix of private and public sector projects across building construction, advanced industrial facilities and civil engineering.
Advanced industrial facilities now account for about 55 per cent of IJM Construction’s domestic outstanding order book, reflecting the growing contribution of this segment to its construction portfolio. - Bernama
