Zenix Aerospace Upeca to sup­port global chain, back Malay­sia’s ambi­tions

KUALA LUMPUR: Zenix Aerospace Upeca is strength­en­ing its man­u­fac­tur­ing cap­ab­il­it­ies, digit­al­isa­tion efforts and work­force devel­op­ment as part of its long-term strategy to help elev­ate Malay­sia’s pos­i­tion in the global aerospace value chain and drive sus­tain­able industry growth.

Its qual­ity and engin­eer­ing dir­ector, Super­e­maneyam Kup­pusamy, said Malay­sia has all the fun­da­mental ingredi­ents to become a lead­ing aerospace hub in South­east Asia.

He said that as a com­pany commi ed to sup­port­ing the growth of the aerospace industry, Zenix Aerospace Upeca con­tinu­ously eval­u­ates oppor­tun­it­ies to enhance its oper­a­tional cap­ab­il­it­ies, tech­no­lo­gical com­pet­it­ive­ness and work­force read­i­ness.

“Our focus remains on strength­en­ing man­u­fac­tur­ing excel­lence through invest­ments in pro­cess improve­ment, digit­al­isa­tion, advanced man­u­fac­tur­ing tech­no­lo­gies and qual­ity enhance­ment ini­ti­at­ives.

“We are also act­ively devel­op­ing our work­force through tech­nical train­ing, lead­er­ship devel­op­ment and cap­ab­il­ity-build­ing pro­grammes to ensure our teams remain equipped to meet evolving cus­tomer require­ments,” he told Bernama. In addi­tion, Super­e­maneyam said Zenix Aerospace Upeca con­tin­ues to sup­port stra­tegic ini­ti­at­ives related to oper­a­tional effi­ciency, sus­tain­ab­il­ity and aerospace industry best prac­tices.

“These efforts are aligned with our long-term object­ive of deliv­er­ing high-qual­ity products and ser­vices while strength­en­ing our pos­i­tion within the global aerospace sup­ply chain,” he explained.

He said Malay­sia’s aerospace sup­ply chain has made sig­ni­fic­ant pro­gress over the past two dec­ades, emer­ging as an import­ant con­trib­utor to the global aerospace eco­sys­tem with strengths in aer­o­struc­tures man­u­fac­tur­ing, pre­ci­sion machin­ing, sheet metal fab­ric­a­tion, com­pos­ite mater­i­als, main­ten­ance, repair and over­haul (MRO), and engin­eer­ing ser­vices.

He noted that Malay­sia’s com­pet­it­ive advant­age lies in its well-estab­lished aerospace indus­trial base, under­pinned by inter­na­tion­ally recog­nised cer­ti­fic­a­tions such as AS9100 and Nad­cap.

“Local aerospace play­ers have suc­cess­fully integ­rated into global sup­ply chains, sup­ply­ing com­pon­ents and ser­vices to lead­ing aerospace ori­ginal equip­ment man­u­fac­tur­ers (OEMs) and Tier 1 sup­pli­ers.
