The machinery and equipment (M&E) industry is a key pillar of industrial growth and development that serves to catalyse Malaysia’s transition into a competitive high-technology, Industry 4.0-ready nation. It assumes strategic importance to the country‘s economic transformation due to its cross-cutting linkages with all economic segments such as the primary, manufacturing and services sectors.
The industry is dominated by small and medium-sized companies that provide customised products, end to end manufacturing and total solution providers, that are capable of meeting the strong demand of both domestic and international manufacturing industries.
The M&E industry in Malaysia is mainly categorised into the following classifications:
It is heavily supported by Engineering Supporting Industry (ESI) players which encompass mould and die, machining, metal stamping, metal casting, surface engineering, heat treatment, fabrication and forging activities.
Among notable companies are ViTrox Technologies, Pentamaster Group, UWC, COHU, VAT Manufacturing Malaysia, BESI Apac, Bruker (Malaysia), Muhibbah Engineering, KNM Group and Aida Manufacturing.

The value of exported M&E products has increased from RM40.1 billion in 2017 to RM49.6 billion in 2021, showcasing the industry’s robust growth, anchored by companies focusing on high-tech products such as semiconductors, intelligent machines, advanced metrology and analytical laboratory equipment, robotics, and autonomous guided (or ‘self-driving’) vehicles.
The advent of Industry 4.0 is changing the way businesses operates today. Development and implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions are already evident in M&E companies in Malaysia featuring technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, Robotics and Additive Manufacturing. A collective of these new technologies is offering new solutions across the M&E value chain to manufacturers. With automation no longer being an option but a necessity for survival given the changes in the manufacturing landscape, Malaysia’s capability in the robotics and factory automation sub-sectors hold much promise for investors seeking development in the manufacturing sector as a whole.
