The opening ceremony was officiated by Chairman Morris Li. Distinguished guests in attendance included Mr. Muhammad Ghaddaffi Sardar Mohamed, Director of MIDA Penang, Penang Deputy Chief Minister II Jagdeep Singh, State Assemblywomen of Penang：YB PUAN Heng Lee Lee and YB PUAN Phee Syn Tzea, Representative Lien Yu-Ping of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, and Ms. Huang Hui-Ling, President of the Penang Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce (PTCC), along with other prominent government and business leaders.
Mr. Mohamed welcomed TECO’s expanded investment in Penang, noting it strengthens the power supply chain and supports local economic and tech growth. He added that TECOBAR busway systems enhance data center and semiconductor projects, helping attract more global investment to Malaysia. Representative Lien Yu-Ping highlighted the strong complementarity between Taiwan and Malaysia’s industries and expressed hope that the TECOBAR Penang plant will create new opportunities for mutual growth and cooperation.
**USD 12 Million Investment in Smart Manufacturing and Automation** The new TECOBAR Penang plant is located within TECO’s Penang Industrial Park, covering 3.5 hectares.
