Stepping into the future of smart manufacturing
Engtek Penang has been recognised at the national level with a Silver Award under the Smart Factory Excellence & Recognition (SFERE) programme, a key initiative driven by Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030). The award was presented during the SFERE Outreach Session and Smart Factory Award Ceremony held on 18 May 2026 at Crowne Plaza Penang Straits City, Penang.
SFERE serves as Malaysia’s flagship programme to assess and recognise manufacturing companies that have successfully transformed into smart factories. It plays a vital role in advancing the nation’s ambition to develop 3,000 smart factories, while strengthening industrial competitiveness and accelerating digital adoption across the sector.
Engtek’s recognition reflects its ongoing commitment to integrating smart technologies into its manufacturing operations, enhancing efficiency, quality, and overall operational excellence, not only in preparation for Industrial Revolution 4.0, but also looking ahead towards Industry 5.0 and beyond.
This achievement reinforces the company’s credibility with customers, partners, and stakeholders, while positioning Engtek among industry leaders driving the future of manufacturing in Malaysia. It also highlights Engtek’s continuous transformation journey, demonstrating that digitalisation is not a one-time effort, but a sustained commitment to innovation and improvement.
As the manufacturing landscape continues to evolve, Engtek remains focused on moving beyond adoption towards deeper integration and broader impact. This milestone marks another step forward in Engtek’s pursuit of excellence and its contribution to Malaysia’s smart manufacturing ecosystem.
