Kuala Lumpur: Sapura Industrial Bhd (SIB) has unveiled a new corporate identity as it sets its sights on high-growth sectors such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, mobility solutions, healthcare, Internet-of-Things technologies, and the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. ‘We want to be more than a manufacturer, (and) with this new identity, we aim to become a service provider, innovator, and co-creator of next-generation solutions, aligned with Malaysia’s high-technology (tech) industrial vision,’ he told a press conference after the launch of its new corporate identity here today.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, as part of Sapura Industrial’s foray into the EV segment, the group has begun investing through its ‘SIB Mili’ platform, partnering with experienced entrepreneurs in the EV business. The company is now focusing on post-warranty vehicle servicing, EV and hybrid battery repairs, and technology training to support Malaysia’s growing clean mobility ecosystem.

The company has observed strong market demand, especially in servicing EV and hybrid cars after their warranty periods. Battery repair and cell replacement technology will be a core part of this offering, alongside the upskilling of local talent. Syed Izuan noted that although EV currently contributes about one percent to the group’s total revenue, Sapura Industrial anticipates a five-fold growth in the segment in the near term.

However, the EV segment will not yet be the main revenue driver. Traditional component manufacturing, such as stabiliser bars, brake discs, and springs, will continue to form the backbone of its business, including for both internal combustion engine and EV models.
