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.
