Porsche’s decision signifies its confidence in Malaysia’s conducive ecosystem and strength to support their long-term growth. This ecosystem has been developed over the decades by various global companies that have chosen Malaysia to be their manufacturing hub.
Malaysia has been strong in various industries and at different tiers of the supply chain. From primary commodities like oil & gas, palm oil & rubber, to downstream petrochemicals products like resins, rubber and specialty chemicals.
