RM488 Mln Modular Data Centre In Senai Expected To Be Completed In 1Q 2027
EPG announced in a statement today that the installation of the final structural beams of the factory has been completed, marking the completion of the facility's building structure.
The factory, located in an integrated industrial development area of approximately 1,100 hectares in Iskandar Malaysia, covers an area of 107,450 square metres, including 70,000 square metres of production space.
As part of the SAC Phase 3 development, the facility is expected to be one of the largest modular data centre (MDC) manufacturing bases in the sector in terms of production capacity, as well as providing over 800 professional and technical job opportunities when fully operational.
EPG founder and chairman Alick Wan said the FIZ plant is an important step in bringing the company’s manufacturing capabilities closer to its customers and the markets it serves.
“By combining advanced manufacturing and close collaboration with local partners, we are developing a responsive operating base in Malaysia, while creating a model that can be adapted to customer needs in other markets,” he said.
Meanwhile, Senai Airport City chief executive officer Gan Seng Keong said EPG's investment is a significant addition to the growing data centre manufacturing ecosystem at SAC.
According to EPG, the factory's master plan includes five buildings for sheet metal production, power transfer unit (PTU) products, diesel generators, final assembly as well as research and development (R&D) and offices.
The factory will integrate advanced automation equipment, intelligent control systems and automatic welding technology with the production line expected to achieve at least 80 per cent automation rate.
EPG also intends to gradually develop cooperation with local suppliers and increase the involvement of Malaysian companies in its supply chain.
