Dong Yang, BLT join forces to drive smart elevator solutions and regional expansion
SHAH ALAM: Dong Yang Elevator (M) Sdn Bhd has forged a strategic partnership with China's Brilliant Elevator Co. Ltd (BLT) to drive smart manufacturing and global expansion in Malaysia.
BLT is the flagship brand of Shenyang Yuanda Intelligent Industrial Group, a global leader in high-end equipment manufacturing.
As part of its global expansion, Yuanda Group will be establishing a Southeast Asian regional logistics and smart service centre in Malaysia.
This centre will integrate warehouse logistics, parts distribution, intelligent maintenance, remote monitoring and customer service, enhancing response times and regional coordination.
At the official launch of its brand and products in the Malaysian market on Tuesday in Shah Alam, BLT described the event as a strategic milestone in its Asean expansion journey.
Over 200 professionals and representatives from the government, construction, development, engineering and maintenance sectors attended the launch.
Dong Yang Elevator's chief executive officer Yeow Ewe Hor emphasised the importance of collaborative potential and the future of Malaysia's building and construction ecosystem to be integrated into smart and sustainable cities.
"As the driving force behind Malaysia's urban progress, we aim to turn blueprints into communities and dreams into national landmarks.
"Malaysia's vertical transportation industry is at a turning point toward safer, greener and smarter systems," he said, adding that the industry needs to address three core challenges - safety, sustainability and innovation.
Yeow also said that since 2008, Dong Yang has worked hand in hand with BLT, selling over 400 elevators and maintaining more than 1,300 units locally.
"We've actively implemented global standards, green technologies and intelligent maintenance systems.
"Moving forward, we'll continue collaborating closely with Public Works Department, Department of Occupational Safety and Health and other government bodies to shape the future of intelligent vertical mobility in Malaysia," he said.
Established in 2002, Dong Yang is a leading Malaysian supplier of elevators, escalators, and home lifts.
Separately, BLT general manager of international sales Liu Ruisheng said the company has cultivated its presence in Malaysia for 18 years and is now entering a key phase in its strategic upgrade.
"We plan to establish a regional logistics centre in Malaysia, leveraging the geographical and industrial strengths to serve the Southeast Asian market and accelerate our global brand development," he said.
In recent years, BLT's export performance has grown steadily with exports surpassing RMB580mil in 2024, reaching more than 140 countries and regions worldwide, ranking among the top Chinese elevator exporters.
Additionally, the successful operation of Yuanda Group's joint venture factory in Saudi Arabia has become a benchmark for high-end smart manufacturing.
This year, the group will launch its assembly plant in the United States, aiming to build a global platform for smart, digital and green vertical transportation solutions with Saudi Arabia and Malaysia as dual engines of this strategy.
The group also plans to launch local assembly operations and talent development programmes, moving from an "equipment supplier" model toward becoming a smart building solutions provider.
So far, the BLT Global Brand Tour has already launched in Vietnam, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.
"Globalisation is not only about product exports. It's about exporting systems of brand, technology and management.
"Malaysia will be our bridgehead into Asean and our collaboration with Dong Yang will take us from deeply rooted to regionally leading," Liu added.

China, Greece deepen tech cooperation at Athens innovation forum
ATHENS, June 24 (Xinhua) -- New agreements focusing on innovation were signed Tuesday between Chinese and Greek universities and institutes at a conference held in Athens, aiming to boost scientific and industrial cooperation. The Greece-Jiangsu Innovation and Industrial Cooperation Conference held at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) brought together more than 160 officials, academics, and industry experts from both countries. The forum focused on advancing joint research and commercialization in high-tech fields. NTUA Rector Ioannis K. Chatjigeorgiou noted his university's strong ties with Chinese universities, saying, "We expect meaningful outcomes for science, education, and bilateral relations." NTUA signed two partnership agreements: one with the China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT), and another jointly with the Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute (JITRI) and the Shanghai Yangtze Delta Innovation Institute. The agreement between NTUA and CUMT builds on longstanding collaboration between their electrical engineering departments, said CUMT President Liu Bo. During the conference, experts from China and Greece exchanged views on cutting-edge topics, including RISC-V processor architecture, sustainable maritime technologies, and energy innovation. Researchers from both countries discussed ongoing projects and held talks to explore future collaboration opportunities during panel discussions and roundtables.

Official predicts 100 AI breakthroughs
Beijing: China's advantages in developing artificial intelligence (AI) are about to unleash a wave of innovation that will generate more than 100 DeepSeek-like breakthroughs in the coming 18 months, according to a former top official. The new software products 'will fundamentally change the nature and the tech nature of the whole Chinese economy,' Zhu Min, who was previously a deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, said during the World Economic Forum in Tianjin yesterday. Zhu, who also served as the deputy managing director at the International Monetary Fund, sees a transformation made possible by harnessing China's pool of engineers, massive consumer base and supportive government policies. The bullish take on China's AI future promises no letup in the competition for dominance in cutting-edge technologies with the United States, just as the world's two biggest economies are also locked in a trade war. The United States sees China as a key rival in the field of AI, especially after DeepSeek shocked the global tech industry in January with its low-cost but powerful model. In addition to efforts to prevent China from securing advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, Washington is blocking Chinese companies from acquiring Nvidia Corp's high-end AI chips for training, citing national security concerns. Beijing is now pinning its hopes on domestic tech giants like Huawei Technologies Co when it comes to advanced chipmaking. The emergence of DeepSeek triggered a rally in China's tech stocks, fuelling optimism over Chinese competitiveness despite tensions over trade with the Trump administration and economic challenges at home. Bloomberg Economics estimates the contribution of high-tech to China's gross domestic product (GDP) climbed to about 15% last year – from near 14% a year earlier – and could exceed 18% in 2026. Despite a tariff truce negotiated a month ago with the United States, American levies are still at high levels, with a more lasting deal still in question. Zhu said the United States will likely see inflation pick up starting in August, as it takes some time for tariffs to feed through to the economy and for companies to use up stockpiles they accumulated before Trump hiked duties. 'The uncertainty brought by US tariff policy is an important factor that may lead to negative growth in global trade this year,' Zhu told reporters on the sidelines of the forum. 'The entire trade industrial chain has begun to slow, investments has begun to stop, so the impact is greater than the actual tariff rate.' The World Economic Forum meeting in Tianjin, also known as 'Summer Davos', has attracted global business executives and world leaders. Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh are scheduled to speak at the three-day event. Chinese Premier Li Qiang is expected to address the conference during the opening plenary today and meet with participants. Despite a tariff truce negotiated a month ago with the United States, American levies are still at high levels, with a more lasting deal still in question. Analysts polled by Bloomberg forecast GDP will slip to 4.5% this year, significantly below the official target of around 5%. It expanded 5.4% in the first quarter. 'The uncertainty brought by US tariff policy is an important factor that may lead to negative growth in global trade this year,' Zhu told reporters on the sidelines of the forum. 'The entire trade industrial chain has begun to slow, investments has begun to stop, so the impact is greater than the actual tariff rate.' Zhu said the United States will likely see inflation pick up starting in August, as it takes some time for tariffs to feed through to the economy and for companies to use up stockpiles they accumulated before Trump hiked duties. Despite shocks from abroad, China's GDP likely grew faster than 5% in the second quarter, according to Huang Yiping, a member of the Chinese central bank's monetary policy committee. Speaking on another panel at the Tianjin forum, he pointed to the economy's solid performance in April and May. But despite strong retail sales in May, when they grew at the fastest pace since December 2023, Huang said China still needs to address the issue of insufficient consumption. — Bloomberg
