ARATAS Strengthens Commitment to Malaysia with JPY 10 billion Manufacturing Investment in Selangor

Banting, Selangor, 13 November 2026 – Aratas Components Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (ACM) today officially broke ground on its new manufacturing facility at COMPASS Industrial Park @ Kota Seri Langat, Banting, marking a significant milestone in the company's long-term growth and investment strategy in Malaysia.

The new facility represents an investment of approximately JPY 10 billion and will be developed on a 68,812-square-metre site and is expected to be completed by end of 2027. Upon completion, the facility is expected to increase ACM' manufacturing capacity by approximately 1.5 times, strengthening its ability to meet growing global demand and support future business expansion.

The groundbreaking ceremony was officiated by YB Tuan Ng Sze Han, Selangor State Executive Councillor for Investment, Trade and Mobility, alongside representatives from government agencies, business partners and industry stakeholders.

This strategic investment underscores ACM's confidence in Malaysia's business environment and further reinforces Selangor's position as a preferred destination for high-value manufacturing investment.

In addition to expanding manufacturing capacity, the project is expected to create employment opportunities, support local talent development initiatives, and generate economic benefits for suppliers, contractors, and service providers within the manufacturing ecosystem.

The investment also aligns with ongoing efforts to strengthen Malaysia's industrial competitiveness and supports Selangor's aspiration to attract high-value, technology-driven investments that contribute to sustainable economic growth.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Ryota Goto, Managing Director of ACM, said:

"Today’s groundbreaking ceremony marks a significant milestone in ACM’s growth journey. For the past 53 years, we have operated with the support of the local Malaysian community and a robust industrial foundation. This new facility represents more than just an additional production site; it reflects our confidence in Malaysia’s business environment and our commitment to creating long-term value for our employees, customers, business partners, and the local community. We remain dedicated to expanding our production capacity and growing alongside Malaysia, while continuing to provide innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers worldwide.”

Located at COMPASS Industrial Park @ Kota Seri Langat, the project will be developed by COMPASS, with Shimizu Corporation Malaysia serving as the main contractor. Construction is scheduled to commence in November 2026, following necessary approvals, with completion and the start of operations planned for the end of 2027.

The new facility is being planned with sustainability considerations integrated into its design and operations, supporting ACM's commitment to responsible business practices and long-term environmental stewardship. The facility will be developed around four key pillars: Green Manufacturing, Automation, a Scalable Ecosystem, and a Diverse Workplace.

With over 50 years of manufacturing experience in Malaysia, ACM continues to contribute to the nation's industrial growth through innovation, operational excellence, talent development, and sustainable manufacturing practices.

ACM extends its appreciation to the Selangor State Government, Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Invest Selangor Berhad, COMPASS Industrial Park @ Kota Seri Langat, and Shimizu Corporation Malaysia for their support and collaboration in making this investment possible.
