Engineering Supporting Industry
Penang’s engineering supporting industries, which include the moulds and dies, machining, metal stamping, casting, heat treatment, metal fabrication and plating/surface treatment industries have developed rapidly over the last three decades to support the electronics industry.
Outsourcing by MNC’s is now the trend, and Penang’s engineering supporting industry are benefiting from this trend. Local companies have evolved with the changing needs of the MNC and many have moved up the value chain to take on higher-value, knowledge and capital intensive activities.
Local Companies have taken advantage of the opportunities not just in production but also across the whole product lifecycle from RD&I to design, distribution, marketing and support services. This requires maintaining competitive advantage through learning advanced skills, expertise and experience spanning this complex range of activities.
With these challenges tremendous opportunities to support global business operations have opened up.
By leveraging on the Penang supply chain, global companies can achieve real competitive advantage by:
- Reducing total cost.
- Reducing time to market.
- Tracking and managing of sophisticated products and more efficient introduction of new products.
- Managing global operations.
- Actively managing current & future operational changes.
- Facilitating customer and supplier demand for ‘around the clock’ services.
- Establishing a high value added services centre with capability to evolve with the growth of the business.
