“The existing two phases of STV have been very well-received with more than 760 acres sold to date, mainly to leading high-technology manufacturing companies across the globe. We are proud that STV has attracted more than RM3.8 billion in foreign direct investment since 2013.
The new land – dubbed Sendayan TechPark (STP) – is a timely addition to our industrial land bank to attract even more international partners and to sustain the Group’s continuous development in Seremban.
Undoubtedly, STV and STP are poised to be the hub for world-class manufacturing, facilitating the transfer of high technology into Malaysia and building a highly-skilled workforce.
