The complex, operating as Maschinenfabrik Gerd Mosca (MGM) Sdn. Bhd., represents the company’s third expansion in Malaysia since 2009. The new facility, showcases Mosca’s commitment to technological advancement and sustainable manufacturing.

The Ambassador of Germany to Malaysia, Dr. Peter Blomeyer, officiated the opening ceremony, highlighting the strengthening economic ties between Germany and Malaysia and the importance of the commitment of German companies to investment, employment and vocational training in Malaysia.

MIDA CEO Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid praised Mosca’s latest investment through its Malaysian entity, MGM, as a testament to Malaysia’s growing appeal as a high-tech manufacturing destination, “Mosca’s new facility showcases the perfect alignment between German engineering excellence and Malaysian industrial ambition, their commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices and workforce development directly supports our MADANI Economy vision. This expansion reinforces Malaysia’s position as a preferred investment destination for advanced manufacturing, while creating valuable opportunities for our local talent and supply chain partners.”

A Legacy of Family, Growth, and Responsible Industry

Leading the Mosca Group is second-generation CEO, Timo Mosca, who continues the family’s proud tradition of German engineering excellence with a people-first philosophy.

“Malaysia has been a strategic milestone in our family company’s journey toward internationalisation. With today’s inauguration of our new production facility, we are building on that legacy – and sending a strong signal for sustainable growth, collaborative partnerships, and entrepreneurial foresight across borders” said Timo Mosca.

Reflecting on the company’s journey, Witold Nowak, Director of MGM, shared: “From our humble beginnings in a small shop lot in 2009, to our first proper factory in 2013, and now to this cutting-edge facility, our journey is a source of immense pride. But beyond the buildings and machines, it is our people who define us. We have consistently invested in our workforce through development programs that not only build skills but also empower individuals with responsibility and trust. Many of our employees have been with us for over a decade—clear evidence of our long-term commitment and reputation as an employer of choice.”

Investing in Malaysia, Investing in People

Since establishing its Malaysian presence in 2009, MGM has prioritised hiring Malaysian talent at all levels—from assembly workers and technicians to senior management. Special focus is given to individuals with limited access to education in Johor, offering them meaningful career opportunities.

“We do not just offer jobs—we build futures,” said Timo Mosca. “We continuously upskill our employees, regularly sending many of them to our headquarters in Germany for advanced training. We equip them with the same tools, opportunities, and trust as we do anywhere in the world. We are not merely a foreign investor—we are an integral part of the Johor community”, adds Witold Nowak.

Mosca’s commitment to long-term, inclusive growth is reflected in its partnership with local educational institutions to develop technical and vocational programmes. These initiatives aim to build a sustainable talent pipeline, with a special focus on empowering underprivileged youth in Johor—ensuring that industry progress is shared with the wider community.

With the launch of its new facility, MGM reinforces its corporate ethos: Non-Stop Performance, Non-Stop Responsibility, and Non-Stop Progress. MGM is not just delivering precision packaging solutions; it is engineering a future built on purpose, excellence, and unstoppable momentum.
