Nepcon Malaysia 2009 Driven by Malaysia's Evolving Manufacturing Sector

As Malaysia’s manufacturing sector moves up the value chain, Nepcon Malaysia becomes even more important as the platform to facilitate exchange of ideas, networking and establishing business contacts, announced Reed Exhibitions. The events organizer said that recent injection of R&D facilities and activities into Malaysia, particularly in Penang, presents great opportunities for the Malaysian economy.

"Penang’s manufacturing sector has evolved to include higher value added activities such as research, design and development, as well as distribution and business development. Likewise, the spectrum of manufactured and assembled products has augmented beyond semiconductors to include medical devices, LED and avionics,” said Dato’ Lee Kah Choon, Chairman, Executive Committee of the Board of Invest-in-Penang Berhad.
