KUALA LUMPUR (April 20): Packaging solutions producer Master-Pack Group Bhd aims to continue strengthening its customer base to cover a wider range of industries and geographical areas.

Executive chairman Datuk Syed Mohamad Syed Murtaza said the forecast for Peninsular Malaysia would be much dependent on the performance of Master-Pack’s customers, the multinational companies, as the packaging business is highly dependent on their business.

“Going forward, the Kuching facility will be installed with a brand new corrugator machine replacing a machine of more than 20 years.

“This capital expenditure will expand the existing capacity, as it takes into consideration new foreign investments in Sarawak as well as our existing customers’ approved expansion plans,” he added in the group’s 2022 annual report.

Master-Pack and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the manufacturing of corrugated cartons and wooden packaging, as well as providing one-stop packaging solutions to customers.

The two main company subsidiaries’ packaging plants are located in Nibong Tebal and Sungai Baong, Penang, and Kuching, Sarawak.

Master-Pack’s packaging plants are strategically located to service markets in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.
