A subsidiary of the Chinese technology giant Unicomp Technology China, Ray Tech (M) Sdn Bhd chose Johor as their new investment destination when they opened a factory related to X-Ray technology equipment in Taman Perindustrian SILC, Gelang Patah.
More encouragingly, it is the first destination of the technology company’s manufacturing operations outside of mainland China.
Dr. Liu Jun, President of Unicomp Technology Pte. Ltd, said that the decision to choose Johor as the company’s latest operating destination was based on careful planning and is confident that the state is the perfect location to further develop existing business potential.
He said, Johor was chosen because it has a complete eco-system such as a sufficient supply chain where the company’s support suppliers are also located in the vicinity of Johor.
In addition, its strategic position which is next to Singapore makes it easy for the company to export goods abroad and it is easy to get a skilled workforce in the field of mechanical, electrical and management through collaboration with local universities as one of the main factors that encourage the company, especially Ray Tech, to operate in the state this.
Earlier, YAB Dato’ Onn Hafiz Ghazi, the Chief Minister of Johor was present to inaugurate the Official Opening Ceremony of Ray Tech (M) Sdn. Bhd., today. Also present were YB Lee Ting Han, Chairman of the Johor State Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs and Human Resources Committee and YBhg. Siva Suriya Moorthy, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA).
For the record, until March 31, the Johor State Government has approved as many as 250 projects involving various sectors that are believed to be able to provide various returns in the form of economy such as job opportunities for the Johor people in particular.
It thus shows the State Government’s commitment and seriousness in developing the Johor economy, thus realizing the goal of making Johor ‘The Next Shenzhen’.
