Vice president and general manager Dr Bala Murugan said the grand opening ceremony marks the new milestone that the company has achieved in the state.<\/p>\n

He said the latest facility which was operational last year, is the only Benchmark facility in the world to provide the full range of its solutions at one location.<\/p>\n

He said the growth of the company has been made possible by the conducive, business friendly and efficient environment that the state administration has provided for the company.<\/p>\n

“It’s competent, accountable and transparent governance has enabled MNCs like us to operate effectively in Penang without fear or favour,” he said during his welcoming speech at its Free Industrial Zone phase 4 premise in Bayan Lepas.<\/p>\n

He also added that since 2007 the company has invested a total of RM300 million in Penang and provides business opportunities amounting to RM250 million per year to the local supply base.<\/p>\n

The company also unveiled its new company logo for the Precision Technologies Sector of its business.<\/p>\n

Held at its Penang FIZ phase 4 premise, the event was officiated by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, and attended by Deputy Chief Minister 1 Datuk Mohd Rashid Hasnon, Deputy Chief Minister 2 P. Ramasamy and Benchmark President and CEO Paul Tufano.<\/p>\n

Benchmark began its operation in Malaysia in 2007, through the acquisition of a former Quantum facility.<\/p>\n
