By partnering with EXPO REAL Asia Pacific, the EEC aims to showcase its investment opportunities, infrastructure projects, and innovative developments to a global audience.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Eastern Economic Corridor of Thailand as our first Founding Partner,” said Mr Michael Wilton, CEO and Managing Director of MMI Asia, the organiser of EXPO REAL Asia Pacific. “This partnership underscores the importance of EXPO REAL Asia Pacific as the platform where strategic economic regions like the EEC can tap on to share their success stories and attract more global investment and partners.”

The significant milestone provides the EEC with a prominent platform at EXPO REAL Asia Pacific, allowing it to engage with international investors and industry leaders. The EEC will also host forums and networking sessions highlighting its key projects and strategic initiatives.

“We are excited to join forces with EXPO REAL Asia Pacific,” said Dr Chula Sukmanop, Secretary General of the Eastern Economic Corridor. “This partnership aligns with our vision to position the EEC as a global investment destination. We look forward to leveraging this opportunity to attract new investments and drive sustainable economic growth.”

EXPO REAL Asia Pacific will take place from 15-17 June 2026 in Singapore, bringing together key stakeholders from the real estate, infrastructure and investment sectors.

ASEAN Ceramics & ASEAN Stone Exhibition 2024 Officially Opens in Ho Chi Minh City

The much-anticipated ASEAN Ceramics & ASEAN Stone Exhibition 2024 officially has opened its doors yesterday, marking the start of a three-day showcase of the latest innovations, technologies, and trends in the ceramics and stone industries. Hosted at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), this event has brought together exhibitors, professionals, and thought leaders from across the ASEAN region and beyond.

This year’s exhibition marks a significant milestone with the debut edition of the ASEAN Stone Exhibition, which seamlessly integrates with the well-established ASEAN Ceramics platform. Together, the two exhibitions provide a comprehensive look at the synergy of the ceramics and stone industries, fostering collaboration and innovation across the entire value chain.

The opening ceremony, held yesterday morning, was a grand celebration featuring distinguished speakers, international delegations, and honoured guests. The ceremony began with the welcoming and registration of VIP guests and press, setting a tone of excitement for the day ahead. Following this, a warm welcome address was delivered by the organizers, including Mr. Michael Wilton, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of MMI Asia Pte Ltd, and Mr. Dinh Quang Huy, Chairman of the Vietnam Building Ceramic Association (VIBCA).

The event continued with opening remarks by Mr. Nguyen Van Sinh, Deputy Minister of Construction, Ministry of Construction of Vietnam, highlighting the importance of the ceramics and stone industries to the country’s and region’s development. Several esteemed representatives from the ASEAN region then shared their perspectives. Mr. Pham Tuan Khanh, Vice Chairman of the Saigon Construction & Building Material Association (SACA), and Dr. Sirithan Jiemsirilers, President of the Thai Ceramics Society (TCS), extended their welcome addresses, reflecting on regional collaboration. Additionally, a special welcome video presentation from ASAKI Indonesia, a member of the Ceramics Industry Club of ASEAN (CICA), emphasized the unity of the ASEAN ceramics community.

The ASEAN Ceramics & ASEAN Stone Appreciation Awards was a highlight of the ceremony, with trophies awarded to honour the contribution of key associations, sponsors, and major exhibitors. The recipients included exhibitors such as Minnovation Group, Puresil India, Gilfair Hong Kong Company Limited, MMA Bentonite, TQT, VITIS, Shandong Victor, Monte-Bianco, and Tianjin Trend. Additionally, associations such as VIBCA, VABM, VIBM, CCPIT, ACIMAC, Confindustria Marmomacchine, TCS, Cambodia Stone Quarries Association and SACA were recognized for their consistent support and contributions. 

Finally, the ceremony closes with a symbolic ribbon-cutting, followed by a group photo and guided VIP tours of the exhibition halls, officially inaugurating this landmark event.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Michael Wilton expressed his excitement for the exhibition, stating, “The debut of ASEAN Stone is a testament to the increasing demand for solutions in the stone industry. This new platform complements ASEAN Ceramics by highlighting the shared technologies, overlapping supply chains, and synergies that unite these two sectors.”

With over 300 companies and brands and over 5000 trade visitors expected, ASEAN Ceramics & ASEAN Stone 2024 showcases products of the finest quality, sustainable practices, and state-of-the-art machinery. The event promises to offer unparalleled opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, and business growth amongst the international ceramics and stone markets.

The organizers warmly invite the public to explore the exhibition and participate in various workshops, panel discussions, and live demonstrations happening throughout the event. This is a unique chance to experience the best of what the ceramics and stone industries have to offer, all under one roof.

SCIB Reports 14.6% Revenue Growth to RM45.1 Million in Q1FY2025

The Company’s Manufacturing Division Remains a Key Contributor Amid Market Volatility

Industrialised building systems specialist, Sarawak Consolidated Industries Berhad (SCIB or the Company) is pleased to announce its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025 (Q1 FY2025). The Company reported a revenue of RM45.1 million, marking a 14.6% year-on-year increase compared to RM39.4 million in Q1 FY2024. The growth in revenue is largely due to the increased recognition of construction works done from ongoing projects.

Ku Chong Hong, Managing Director of SCIB
Ku Chong Hong, Managing Director of SCIB

As for Q1FY2025, SCIB’s Manufacturing division continues to play a pivotal role in the Company’s performance, contributing RM32.5 million to the total revenue, a 9.9% increase from RM29.6 million in Q1 FY2024. This growth was primarily driven by increased sales of foundation piles and Industrialised Building System (“IBS”) products, especially for major projects such as the Kuching Urban Transportation System (“KUTS”), the Sarawak Second Trunk Road (“STR”) and school projects in Sarawak.

Profit Before Tax (“PBT”) for the manufacturing segment stood at RM3.8 million. Meanwhile, the Construction/Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (“EPCC”) division reported revenue of RM12.6 million, an increase from RM9.8 million in the same quarter last year. However, the segment recorded a Loss Before Tax (“LBT”) of RM2.0 million due to unanticipated unrealised foreign exchange loss recognised. The division remains focused on delivering ongoing projects while exploring new opportunities for expansion.

During the quarter, SCIB maintained its commitment to strengthening its financial foundation and broadening its project portfolio. Additionally, SCIB had recently acquired a 2.49-hectares land parcel at Bintulu Sibiu Road, Bintulu, for RM9.2 million, followed by another parcel of 7.3-hectares land in Jalan Bintulu-Sibu as part of its plan to collaborate  with developers for residential housing projects that utilise SCIB’s high-quality products and industry expertise, while expanding SCIB’s products and services offering to serve the fundamental needs of the Sarawak market.

Mr. Ku Chong Hong, Managing Director of SCIB, commented, “The results of Q1 FY2025 reflect the challenges of a dynamic economic environment. However, we remain steadfast in our commitment to strengthening the financial foundation of the Company. Besides targeting to secure projects consistently, the recent securing of financial facilities from SME Bank and the proposed private placement of 10.0% of SCIB’s total issued shares underscore our focus on enhancing our cash position and ensuring financial stability to support our operational and strategic initiatives.”

Looking ahead, SCIB remains optimistic about Malaysia’s construction sector, bolstered by the record allocation in Budget 2025 of RM421 billion, including RM86 billion for development expenditure. The RM5.9 billion allocated for Sarawak, aimed at upgrading public infrastructure such as schools, healthcare centres, and airports, as well as large-scale projects like the Sabah-Sarawak Link Road (“SSLR”) and the North Coastal Highway, aligns seamlessly with SCIB’s expertise and strategic direction. The Company is poised to leverage its manufacturing capabilities and strategic initiatives to secure a strong foothold in both local and regional markets, ensuring sustainable growth and long-term value for its stakeholders.

ABOUT SARAWAK CONSOLIDATED INDUSTRIES BERHAD
Sarawak Consolidated Industries Berhad (“SCIB”) was founded in 1975 and has evolved from a small enterprise into a reputable Group of companies listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
