AEROSPACE / AVIONICS
With SAM Engineering & Equipment taking a prominent presence here in the State together with few other aerospace / avionics companies, Penang is poised to become a growth nexus for the sector – in line with Malaysia’s aim to become Southeast Asia’s leading aerospace nation by 2030.
In 2017, the Malaysian aerospace industry recorded a revenue of RM13.5 billion, with an export value of RM8.51 billion.
