SHAH ALAM: EP Manufacturing Bhd (EPMB), a tier-1 automotive systems and components manufacturer, has secured a contract to supply automotive components to Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd (HMSB).
EPMB has invested up to RM27 million in new plant and equipment.
In a statement today, executive chairman Hamidon Abdullah said EPMB is pleased to have expanded its customer base, to include HMSB.
"HMSB is one of the top five automakers in Malaysia and a strong brand in the global automotive industry.
"This new contract is a testament to EPMB’s capability as a tier-1 automotive component supplier," he added.
Meanwhile, the new relationship between EPMB and HMSB is a good platform for the Group to showcase its expertise.
The statement said that EPMB was looking forward to working with new automakers, as the automotive industry sees an emergence of new players and models, due to stiffer competition from market liberalisation which will drive car prices down.-- Bernama
