Penang, 17 May 2025<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0 Global automotive sensor leader Trensor Co. Ltd. today broke ground on its first international manufacturing facility in Penang, Malaysia. The RM100 million investment will create 200 high-skilled jobs and generate RM200 million in annual sales when production begins in 2026.<\/p>\n

The state-of-the-art facility, spanning 10,000 square metres across four stories, will be located at Penang Technology Park@Bertam. This strategic expansion marks Trensor’s commitment to serving the growing Southeast Asian automotive market while strengthening its global supply chain capabilities.<\/p>\n

The momentous occasion was graced by the presence of YAB Chow Kon Yeow, Chief Minister of Penang, alongside key state and federal dignitaries including YB H\u2019ng Mooi Lye, Member of the Penang State Executive Council, as well as Mr. Muhammad Ghaddaffi Sardar Mohamed, Director of Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Penang.<\/p>\n

In his speech, YAB Chow Kon Yeow stated, \u201cToday\u2019s Groundbreaking Ceremony marks a new milestone for Trensor, as we witness the launch of the company\u2019s first manufacturing facility in Penang. To strengthen Penang\u2019s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing, the State Government continues to prioritise the attraction of companies with strong, long-term commitments to sustainable investment. In this regard, the State commends Trensor for its dedication to continuously evolve to support next-generation technologies, reinforcing Penang\u2019s standing in the global advanced manufacturing landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, Chief Executive Officer of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), affirmed Malaysia’s commitment to attracting high-value investments, stating, “Trensor’s strategic expansion into Malaysia marks a transformative moment for our nation’s advanced manufacturing capabilities. This investment represents precisely the kind of high-impact, future-focused partnerships Malaysia seeks to attract. Trensor’s advanced sensor technology and manufacturing expertise will significantly elevate our automotive electronics ecosystem, while creating substantial opportunities for our skilled workforce. Their decision to establish their first overseas facility here powerfully validates Malaysia’s position as a preferred destination for sophisticated manufacturing operations. MIDA welcomes Trensor as a key partner in driving Malaysia’s journey toward becoming a global technology powerhouse.”<\/p>\n

Zhou Wenbo, General Manager of Trensor Electronics Sdn Bhd, stated: \u201cThe decision by Trensor Co Ltd to establish its first-ever overseas factory in Penang, Malaysia, was driven by the state\u2019s world-class infrastructure, business-friendly governance, high quality of life, cultural affinity, and abundant pool of high-tech talent attracted to the \u2018Silicon Valley of the East\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMIDA, InvestPenang, the Seberang Perai City Council, and all local authorities have provided strong support in helping Trensor turn its globalisation strategy into a concrete reality today,\u201d Zhou added.<\/p>\n

Renowned for its advanced automotive pressure sensors and high levels of automation and vertical integration, Trensor Co. Ltd. supplies major global automakers like Ford and Geely, as well as Tier-1 suppliers such as Cummins and Hanon Systems. Notably, their sensors are also integrated into Perodua\u2019s air conditioning system. With approximately 60% of its revenue derived from exports, primarily to North America and Europe, the Penang facility will be crucial in supporting Trensor\u2019s strategic expansion into the rapidly growing Southeast Asian automotive markets and beyond. Trensor has also strategically secured land for future expansion, signalling a long-term commitment to its Malaysian operations.<\/p>\n
