AJINOMOTO(MALAYSIA)BERHAD NEW FACTORY PROJECT

AJINOMOTO (MALAYSIA) BERHAD (AMB), a consolidated subsidiary of Ajinomoto Co., Ltd. had relocated and built a new plant in Enstek Industrial Park (Negeri Sembilan Province).

Since its establishment in 1961, AMB has been based in Kuala Lumpur. However, with the expectation of the commercial and residential development of the area and with the consideration to plan a stable environment for its production and future expansion, AMB decided to relocate its facility to a vast site of about 200,000m² and construct a factory facility with a total floor area of approximately 53,200m² consists of two manufacturing buildings and three non-manufacturing buildings.

The concept of the new factory are “development and production functions of halal-compliant products and original materials in the Ajinomoto Group”, “realization of next-generation food factory by introducing advanced technology” and “actively respond to Environmental (E) and Social (S) issues”.

The construction began in October 2019 and after being through a tough situation caused by the global pandemic COVID-19 that no one had experienced before, all the parties involved in this project feel accomplished that we could finally successfully completed this project.
