In 2023, we expanded our offerings to include the supply of pre-fabricated buildings to new markets. Contract wins in this area, such as supplying pre-fabricated buildings for our client Schneider, highlight our commitment to diversification and global outreach, with a strong emphasis on sustainability.

This strategic expansion aligns perfectly with our dedication to environmental sustainability within the oil and gas sector, further reinforcing our company’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change challenges. Our expertise and market leadership were reaffirmed by other notable contract wins, including pipeline coating projects such as Rosmari-Marjoram and Crux Pipeline during the year. These successes have significantly contributed to our order book of RM2.9 billion, which is set to be executed in the next six to twelve months.
