OTS Holdings Expands Halal Production Capacity with Grand Opening of Ellaziq’s Advanced Manufacturing Facility in Johor
Johor, Malaysia, 29 October 2025 — OTS Holdings Limited (“OTS Holdings” or the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), a brand builder and food manufacturing group announces the grand opening of its new advanced food manufacturing facility located at Simpang Renggam, Johor.
The RM40 million investment in the halal-certified facility, equipped with advanced F&B machinery and automation systems, positions the Group to significantly expand its market reach. The facility will increase monthly production capacity to 200 tonnes —tripling the current Singapore halal production output of 60 tonnes.
The event on 28 October 2025 was graced by Yang Berhormat Tuan Lee Ting Han, Chairman of the Johor State Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs and Human Resources Committee, along with representatives from the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Enterprise Singapore, the Singapore Business Federation, the Johor State Islamic Religious Department, as well as representatives from banking institutions, partners, and business associates.
Backed by advanced production capabilities and in-house R&D expertise, the Group has undertaken extensive renovation and upgrading works, since acquiring the property for RM14.3 million in November 2023, to ensure the new facility aligns with the Group’s stringent food manufacturing standards, quality controls and operational requirements.
The facility, which spans a land size of 178,863 square feet with a built-up area of 65,000 square feet, is dedicated exclusively to halal production and has successfully obtained its halal certification in August 2025.
Notably, the Johor manufacturing facility is equipped with new advanced F&B machinery and automation, which will enable the Group to maintain stringent quality standards while operating with a lean workforce.
YBhg. Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, CEO of MIDA, commented, “The opening of Ellaziq’s new facility in Johor affirms Malaysia’s strategic role in the global halal economy, particularly in the advanced food manufacturing sector. It is a clear testament to the confidence international brand builders have placed in our country’s ecosystem, infrastructure and skilled workforce.”
“This expansion leverages the unique close proximity and economic synergy between Johor and Singapore, delivering dual benefits, strengthening regional supply chains while substantially increasing our national halal capacity to better serve not just Muslimconsumers, but also those who prioritise halal-certified products globally. This project strongly aligns with the government’s economic agenda by creating high-quality jobs and driving the use of advanced machinery. MIDA remains fully committed to supporting high-value investments that deliver significant, tangible growth.”
Managing Director of OTS Holdings, Mr. Ong Bee Chip said: “Our new Johor facility reflects our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the Muslim consumer segment, which continues to grow both in value and demand.
Our focus is not just on increasing volume, but on creating products that resonate with the values and expectations of the Muslim community, while maintaining the stringent standards of food quality and safety.
Targeting the growing Muslim consumer market locally and abroad—from Singapore and Malaysia to the Middle East, UAE, and Africa, our enhanced production capacity will also strengthen our export capabilities, extending our trusted halal brands and high-quality products to a larger audience globally.”
