ISP Group kicks off RM80mil industrial project in Senai
KUALA LUMPUR: ISP Group of Companies (ISP) has kicked off its RM80 million greenfield industrial project, ISP Victory, in Senai, Johor.
This marks the group's first purpose-built logistics and manufacturing hub in southern Malaysia.
The project, to be constructed by SLG Construction Sdn Bhd, is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2027.
"Having grown its industrial portfolio primarily through brownfield acquisitions, the company is now moving decisively into greenfield development to shape the future of industrial real estate.
"This reflects our values of sustainability, operational excellence, and long-term vision," ISP founder and group chief executive officer Eric Ng said in a statement today.
Spanning 4.1 hectares, the facility will feature a dual-storey logistics warehouse and manufacturing unit with a total built-up area of about 263,000 square feet.
ISP said the building will incorporate energy-efficient lighting, flexible configurations and wide column spacing to serve both multinational and local businesses aiming to meet modern performance and environmental standards.
Senai falls within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a cross-border initiative aimed at boosting trade and industry.
"The construction phase is expected to stimulate local economic activity, creating opportunities for contractors, consultants, engineers and material suppliers.
"Upon completion, the development will support new businesses and drive job creation, reinforcing Johor's positioning as a key economic hub in Malaysia," the company said.

JS-SEZ key to Johor's rise as regional innovation and investment hub
Johor Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs and Human Resources Committee chairman Lee Ting Han ISKANDAR PUTERI: The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is emerging as a cornerstone of Johor's transformation into a next-generation regional powerhouse, with the state offering a compelling value proposition to global investors in artificial intelligence (AI), data centres and high-value industries. Johor Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs and Human Resources Committee chairman Lee Ting Han said the JS-SEZ, developed in close collaboration with Malaysia's federal government and Singaporean counterparts, aims to harmonise cross-border regulations, unlock trade flows and ease talent mobility between the two countries. "This zone will make Johor even more competitive and connected,' he said during closing remarks on the first day of the Nikkei Forum Medini 2025 here today. He emphasised that Johor is not a passive recipient of federal or foreign policy, but an active agent shaping regional growth through coherent, long-term strategies rooted in clarity, consistency and capacity. At the heart of this transformation is Medini, a flagship smart city that Lee described as a "public-private innovation lab', attracting more than RM13 billion in cumulative investments to date in sectors such as healthcare, education, business services and smart infrastructure. "Medini is more than just real estate, it's a collaborative innovation platform. Now is the time to shift from dialogue to action through MoUs, pilot projects, and enduring partnerships,' he said. Lee urged policymakers and institutions to recognise that sustainable, digital nation-building depends on integrated action across technology, energy, environmental, social and governance (ESG) frameworks. "What we've built today reflects on the need for cross-sector coherence. Let us now move from consensus to execution,' he added. Lee noted that Johor is undergoing a fundamental shift from a traditional industrial base into a next-generation economic powerhouse, driven by policy innovation, infrastructure readiness and investor confidence. The two-day Nikkei Forum Medini 2025 forms part of broader efforts to position Johor as a regional innovation hub, supporting the JS-SEZ initiative to attract high-quality investments and integrate value chains between Malaysia and Singapore. - Bernama
