SEREMBAN, June 13 – Mahsuri Food Sdn. Bhd. (“Mahsuri”), a prominent producer of Halal-certified products in the ASEAN region, is set to elevate its operations with the upcoming launch of an advanced manufacturing plant in Bandar Enstek, Negeri Sembilan. The impressive 24,000 square meter facility will house manufacturing, warehousing, quality assurance, research and development, office, and social amenities, solidifying Mahsuri’s position as a pioneer in soy sauce production within the ASEAN region. The plant is scheduled to commence operations in early 2025, driven by the implementation of the revolutionary Rotary-type Koji-Making Machine.
A distinguished list of guests, including government officials, industry leaders, and representatives from Mahsuri, attended the groundbreaking ceremony in Bandar Enstek. YAB Datuk Seri Haji Aminuddin Harun, Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, expressed a warm welcome to Mahsuri, highlighting the potential for growth and the company’s role in the Halal industry. Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun stated, “Hopefully, with the growth of the Halal industry and the high demand for Halal products by the Malaysian community and the world, Mahsuri will continue to grow and be among one of the World’s Top Ten Halal Brands in the future.”
Datuk Wira Arham Abdul Rahman, CEO of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), expressed excitement about the forthcoming full operation of the plant, emphasizing Malaysia’s strong position in the halal products and services market. He commended Mahsuri’s investment in the new manufacturing plant, which signifies a significant milestone in Malaysia’s journey to become a global hub for innovative halal offerings. Datuk Wira Arham also praised Mahsuri’s commitment to nurturing local talent and driving economic growth.
Dato’ Roslan Mahyuddin, Non-Executive Director of Mahsuri, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to providing high-quality Halal-certified products and enhancing consumer convenience. The new plant will enable Mahsuri to expand its production capacity and lay a solid foundation for future growth. Mahsuri aims to serve both local and international markets, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, India, the Middle East, and, in the future, the United States.
In addition to advancing its manufacturing capabilities, Mahsuri’s establishment of the new plant in Negeri Sembilan demonstrates its commitment to creating employment opportunities and upskilling the local workforce. By ensuring that at least 50% of their new employees are skilled individuals, Mahsuri contributes to the development of a highly capable workforce in Malaysia, aligning with the country’s National Investment Policy.
The launch of the advanced manufacturing plant represents a significant milestone for Mahsuri as it positions itself at the forefront of soy sauce production in the ASEAN region. With its commitment to quality, innovation, and the Halal industry, Mahsuri is poised to make a lasting impact on the global market, providing consumers with delectable and Halal-certified products while contributing to Malaysia’s economic growth.
