KRONACH/PENANG, Feb 14 (Bernama) -- M.A.i GmbH & Co. KG, a leading German specialist for automation solutions, officially opens a new production and sales location in Penang, Malaysia. The strategic expansion marks a significant milestone in the company's international growth strategy and strengthens its position in the burgeoning Southeast Asian market.

The cutting-edge Malaysian facility will serve as a regional hub for automation innovation and manufacturing excellence. Engineering teams at the new location will develop customised automation solutions while maintaining the high standards that have defined M.A.i since its founding in 1999. This expansion complements the company's German headquarters while extending its global reach.

YB Jagdeep Singh Deo, Deputy Chief Minister II of Penang, stated, “With a legacy of five decades of industrialisation and a strong reputation for innovation and technological excellence, Penang offers a thriving industrial ecosystem that naturally attracts investors. Penang is honoured to be the chosen investment destination for M.A.i to expand its global presence to penetrate into the Southeast Asian market, especially at a time when automation is driving industry transformation.”

In his address, Mr. Sivasuriyamoorthy Sundara Raja, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Investment Promotion and Facilitation of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), applauded M.A.i Automation on the opening of their state-of-the-art facility in Pulau Pinang. "This milestone marks a new chapter for M.A.I. Automation and highlights Malaysia’s steady ascent in the industrial sector. The establishment of M.A.i Automation in Malaysia aligns perfectly with the aspirations outlined in the National Investment Aspirations (NIA), which aim to elevate our economic complexity, create high-value jobs, and foster inclusive growth."

“Malaysia's commitment to these principles positions us as a regional powerhouse for advanced manufacturing within ASEAN, ready to meet the demands of a global market that increasingly values efficiency and technological sophistication,” he further added.

"This expansion is an important step in our global strategy," explains Mr. Stefan Woldrich and Mr. Mario Michel, CEOs of M.A.i Germany. "Our headquarters in Kronach remains the center of our innovations, strategic decisions, and production. We continuously invest in the expansion and modernisation of our German location, where further expansions are also planned. The new site in Malaysia allows us to efficiently serve the growing demand in Southeast Asia and strengthen our worldwide network. This expansion will enable us to further expand our global presence while benefiting from the strengths of all our locations."

The choice of Penang as a location was made due to its strategic position, excellent infrastructure, and access to highly qualified professionals. The new branch will work closely with the German headquarters to leverage synergies and drive innovation.

To mark this milestone, M.A.i will celebrate the grand opening of its Penang facility, offering customers and partners an exclusive look into its cutting-edge automation solutions and future growth strategies.
