Thematic Industrial Parks
Leveraging the Existing Strengths of NCER
Thematic industrial parks are industrial park projects with targeted focus industries that are aimed at leveraging the existing strengths of NCER and its states.
These parks help spur the growth in high-value manufacturing of key products, and play an important role in catalysing growth down an industry’s value chain, creating a network of supporting industries and suppliers which leads to a more complete business ecosystem.
Certain industrial parks have an added advantage in terms of geographical location or a well-connected logistics infrastructure which help facilitate efficient movement of manufacturing input and goods produced.
Overall, thematic industrial parks will help create more employment opportunities in the region, and also contribute to reducing reliance on imports.
01
Chuping Valley Industrial Area (CVIA)
CVIA at Lembah Chuping in Perlis is centred around green and halal industries. The 2,482-acre development is set to transform Perlis into a high-income and industrialised state by 2030.
02
KEDAH RUBBER CITY (KRC)
KRC is the first dedicated Rubber Industrial Park in Kedah. Covering an area of 1,244 acres, it is envisioned to accelerate the development of Malaysia’s rubber industry.
The project is a synergistic effort supported by Malaysia and Thailand to stimulate socioeconomic development in the border region. It will be developed into a “Rubber Corridor” that will link the region’s major rubber producers in the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT).
03
KEDAH ECO-INNOVATIONS PARK (KEIP)
The NCIA Council gave its approval for a petrochemical industrial park project to be established in Gurun, Kedah.
Known as the Kedah Eco Innovation Park (KEIP), the project will focus on agro-based chemical products such as specialty fertilisers, single cell proteins and bioplastics, leveraging on existing feedstock sources and infrastructure while creating high-value jobs within NCER.
04
SIDAM LOGISTICS, AEROSPACE AND MANUFACTURING HUB (SLAM)
SLAM is a high-impact project in Mukim Sidam, Kedah that will complement the development of Kulim International Airport (KXP).
The park focuses on high-value activities in manufacturing, logistics and aerospace. These range from aerospace and manufacturing of avionics and aircraft interiors, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities, as well as high-value manufacturing such as pharmaceuticals and Electrical & Electronics (E&E).
05
SILVER VALLEY TECHNOLOGY PARK (SVTP)
SVTP is a human-centric and environmentally sustainable project that will enhance the liveability of Ipoh City to attract skilled talents of the future today.
This is Southeast Asia’s first Digital Disruptive Technology Park that will serve as a platform to facilitate the development of emerging applied technologies from concept to production.
