KULIM: Kulim Hi-Tech Park, which attracted RM2bil in investments last year, has allocated 12ha for a small and medium industries (SMI) park.
The infrastructure was already in place at the SMI park and lots of between 0.4ha and 1.6ha each were now available, Kulim Technology Park Corp (KTPC) group chief executive officer Datuk Ahmad Shukri Tajuddin told StarBiz.
“KHTP has gained recognition from the multinational companies because of its advanced infrastructure, professional management and support services.
“We want to capitalise on this and woo local and foreign investors to centralise all their supporting industries at the SMI park,” he said.
The supporting industries would cater for companies like First Solar Inc, Silterra (M) Sdn Bhd, Intel Products (M) Sdn Bhd and Infineon Technologies (Kulim) Sdn Bhd, he added.
KHTP currently houses 21 manufacturing companies and 30 support services companies under phases one and two of its industrial zone covering 1,640ha.
It had chalked up a total RM23bil in investments and has a workforce of 16,000.
