MIDA, Perodua To Collaborate In Upgrading Local Automotive Suppliers
The MIDA-Perodua Digital Transformation Ecosystem Programme was launched today at the MIDA offices as a result of a strategic cooperation between the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and PERODUA.
The program's objective is to take local auto suppliers to the next level by utilising state-of-the-art equipment and technology and by implementing Industry 4.0 in their manufacturing processes.
"Under MIDA's initiative to facilitate these companies to adopt digitalisation and Industry 4.0, we have been successful to contributing immense growth in PERODUA's manufacturing volume, through the empowerment of its industry partners and service providers." said Datuk Arham Abdul Rahman, Chief Executive Officer of MIDA
The collaboration has also identified five vendors for the MIDA-Perodua Digital Transformation Ecosystem Programme; Armstrong Auto Parts Sdn Bhd, Ingress Aoi Technologies Sdn Bhd, Namicoh Suria Sdn Bhd, PD Kawamura Kako Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (PDKM) and Kumpulan Jebco (M) Sdn Bhd.
PERODUA President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato' Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said "The MIDA-PERODUA Digital Transformation Ecosystem Programme aligned with the Government's efforts to enhance local technology ecosystem”.
The first phase of the programme, formerly known as Malaysia Lighthouse project, has its pilot project begun in 2020 with three vendors, namely LSF Technology Sdn Bhd, JK Wire Harness Sdn Bhd and Autoliv Hirotako Safety Sdn Bhd.
