Qualampur: The metal fabrication firm Vental Engineering Holdings BHD is ready for a significant jump in production capacity as it reads its new manufacturing facility in Lot 815 near Campus in Johor.
The plant-with a built-in area of almost 299,000 square feet-will exceed the current footprint of Dabal Vental, replacing its rental plant 58 and the existing plant will complement 11.
“With Lot 815, our manufacturing place will effectively expand two times compared to today,” said the group’s CEO Chua Chong Sin.
“It is an important milestone in strengthening our foundation for long -term development.”
Chua reported that the additional location would directly translate into strong topline performance.
He said, “We are estimating the annual revenue growth of about 20% year-on-year in the next five years, as the new plant increases the ramp,” he said.
Ventell hopes that the facility of the campus will be between three and five years to reach full use.
Once completely operational, the new plant will serve as the company’s primary hub, while the plant 58 will not be used.
“Extension is not only about capacity, it is about the position of ventail for the next stage of development in high-value manufacturing,” Chua said.
“This investment ensures that we can meet the growing demand from our customers in semiconductors, medical and industrial equipment sectors.”
Chua said Vental hopes that its new campus facility, lot 815, will be fully used within five years of completion.
“We are targeted to completely customize the new plant within five years.
“Once the capacity is close to being fully raised, we know that the next step will have to plan for another feature beyond lot 815.”
He admitted that the project timeline has moved slightly, now the plant is expected to be ready in the first half of 2026.
“The campus plant remains a strategic investment for the long -term development of Vental.
“Even with a slight delay, we are confident that it will provide the foundation for the next stage of our expansion.”
Chua reported that Ventell is also looking at the encouraging speed in its electrical and electronics (E&E) section, which is powered by qualification processes and new production activity.
He said that although the company does not work on a traditional order book, procurement orders are being received continuously.
“Our E&E orders are based on the purchase orders received by us rather than a certain order book,” Chua said.
“Right now, most activity is in the manufacturing process inspection (MPI) stage, where customers are making us qualified as a supplier.
“From these MPIs, some opportunities are already converting into large -scale production orders, which is why you see the E&E segment growing compared to the previous year.”
Chua said that while it is difficult to provide an accurate forecast, the trend is clearly upwards.
He said, “It is difficult to increase the percentage of percentage because the number keeps increasing. What we can say is that the activity is constructing the month -door, and the customers are asking us to distribute it in a lower lead time than before,” he said.
On the assembly of finished products, Chua admitted that revenue has declined in recent years, but was emphasized that it reflects a change in product mixture rather than a structural weakness.
“Today our prepared assembly business focuses largely on security scanning equipment, especially airport scanning machines.
“We have seen some deficiency in the walkthrough detector machines, but overall it is a mixed-model landscape. We are committed to support the customer’s demand in this niche section.”
Chua said Vental also sees Malaysia’s semiconductor ambitions and a significant opportunity generated by the Multi-year-old FAB of Singapore, expecting high-margins demand in both markets.
He said that the role of the company is to directly benefit from this regional development as an accurate parts supplier.
“We create accurate metal components that are supplied as parts to our customers, which in turn serve the front-end and back-end semiconductor equipment manufacturers,” Chua explained.
He said that every new fab requires adequate investment in advanced equipment, which creates ripple effects in the supply chain.
“When Singapore increases its capital expenditure on fabs, the demand increases to semiconductor equipment.
“And as part of the supply chain, the ventail plays an important role in the supply of accurate parts and components that our customers need to make this device,” he said.
“This expansion in both Malaysia and Singapore is a clear opportunity for us to catch high-margin contracts and strengthen our appearance in semiconductor ecosystems.”
On earnings, Ventell posted a revenue of RM34.86 million for the second quarter (Q2) ended on 30 June 2025 (FY25), which increased from RM28.77 million from RM28.77 million to 21.2% posted in the same quarter last year.
In Q2 of FY 25, the net profit from RM4.46 million increased by 12.6% to RM5.02 million.
Group Financial Controller Yap You Wei said that Ventail gave concrete financial results in the first half of FY25, which was reduced by widespread-based revenue growth and better margin.
“We achieved a double -digit increase of 21% in revenue, reflecting continuous strength in our major markets.”
Malaysia remained the largest revenue contributor, accounting for selling 60% to 70%, followed by Singapore about 30%, with the remaining from the US.
