KUALA LUMPUR: AME Elite Consortium Bhd is boosting the expansion plans of solar tracking systems manufacturer Shengda New Energy Sdn Bhd by constructing its second plant in i-Park@Senai Airport City.
AME, an integrated industrial space solutions provider, said with the second plant, Shengda had invested over RM95 million in land and buildings in Malaysia.
"Shengda has a total manufacturing built-up area of about 361,100 square feet in i-Park@Senai Airport City upon expected completion of the second plant in June 2021," AME said in a statement today.
According to AME, the group had completed Shengda's first plant in i-Park@Senai Airport City in December 2019.
The plant manufactures solar tracking systems, including steel coil slitting, precision tubing, precision stamping, and related components.
The second plant, adjoining the first manufacturing facility, will expand Shengda's products to include solar tracker slew gear (tracking driver) and solar cleaning robots.
"The plant will also house a power station demonstration project to enable visual presentation to customers, as well as research and development (R&D) testing lines for solar tracker, battery energy storage, and solar cleaning robots," it said.
AME group managing director Kelvin Lee Chai said the new plant would not only increase Shengda's total production floor space by more than 50 per cent upon completion in June 2021, but also help it move up the value chain and develop more advanced solutions for international customers.
Lee said Shengda's investments signified the increasing relevance and demand of AME's i-Parks to a wide range of industries, including to innovative companies in the sustainable energy sector.
i-Park@Senai Airport City, launched in 2017, is a gated and guarded full-service industrial resort in Johor spanning an area of 189 acres.
AME is developing two integrated industrial parks in Johor: i-Park@Indahpura (Phase 3) and i-Park@Senai Airport City (Phases 1, 2 and 3).
Both industrial parks feature custom-built industrial buildings within a well-planned gated and guarded compound, complemented by recreational facilities and workers' dormitories.
