Established in 2011, Intretech has grown into a trusted partner for leading global brands, providing end-to-end manufacturing solutions across diverse sectors, including consumer electronics, automotive, home appliances, environmental technologies, medical devices, and many more.

The company’s mission is to drive innovation through vertically integrated manufacturing, uniting precision engineering, advanced automation, and digital intelligence to deliver products of the highest quality and reliability. Intretech operates in accordance with globally recognised standards – including ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and IATF 16949 (Automotive Quality Management) – ensuring excellence at every stage of production.

By integrating design, engineering, and manufacturing within a single, data-driven ecosystem, the company maintains full traceability, upholds ethical supply-chain practices, and guarantees consistent quality across its worldwide operations.

Established in 2016, Intretech Malaysia is strategically located in Senai, Johor, a region renowned for its robust industrial infrastructure and unmatched accessibility to regional and global supply chains.

The Senai facility, spanning over 210,000 square metres, serves as one of Intretech’s largest global manufacturing hubs. The site houses advanced production capabilities, including:

• Injection moulding and precision tooling
• Surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly lines
• Clean-room manufacturing for high-sensitivity products
• Tool & die casting and secondary assembly operations

The company’s Malaysian operations employ over 4,000 skilled professionals, supporting both local and international clients across multiple industries. Beyond manufacturing, the site also focuses on process innovation, quality control, and lean operations to enhance global competitiveness.

Intretech’s decision to establish its operations in Malaysia forms a key pillar of its “Big Triangle” global strategy – a framework designed to create a balanced, resilient manufacturing network across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

In an era of accelerating globalisation, Malaysia stands out as a hub for international trade and advanced manufacturing. Its strategic location in Southeast Asia provides seamless connectivity to major markets, while its industrial maturity and government support make it an ideal base for high-value production.
Key factors influencing Intretech’s decision include:

• Skilled Workforce: Malaysia’s strong pool of technically trained professionals provides the foundation for consistent product quality and operational excellence.
• Infrastructure and Connectivity: Johor’s mature industrial ecosystem and its proximity to major ports enable efficient logistics and access to regional markets.
• Business Environment: Malaysia’s pro-investment policies, ease of doing business, and stable regulatory environment make it an ideal base for long-term growth.
• Strategic Diversification: As part of Intretech’s Big Triangle strategy, Malaysia offers a robust and diversified manufacturing base within Southeast Asia – perfectly complementing the company’s facilities in China, Hungary, and Mexico.

Since commencing operations, Intretech Malaysia has become a cornerstone of the company’s global supply chain. The site has achieved steady growth in output, technical capability, and employment, while contributing to Malaysia’s broader goal of becoming a regional hub for high-value manufacturing.

The company continues to invest in automation, sustainability initiatives, and workforce development to strengthen operational efficiency and align with evolving customer expectations. Intretech’s experience in Malaysia reflects the advantages of combining local talent with global expertise – a model that continues to deliver measurable success.

Drawing from its own journey, Intretech encourages other international companies to view Malaysia not only as a cost-competitive destination, but as a strategic partner for innovation and growth.

Investors entering Malaysia’s manufacturing landscape are advised to:

• Build a long-term commitment to workforce training and local capability development.
• Leverage the country’s industrial clusters and support ecosystems to accelerate setup and scale.
