Integrated industrial space solutions provider AME Elite Consortium Berhad has broken ground for the MYR 108 million (EUR 22.8 million) manufacturing facility for Bucher Emhart Glass at i-Park@Senai Airport City, Johor, Malaysia, three months after signing the initial agreement.
The ground-breaking signifies the start of the construction phase for the new manufacturing facility, which is scheduled to be completed in 2024. With a built-up area of about 300,000 square feet, the facility represents a substantial investment by Bucher Emhart Glass to expand its manufacturing capabilities in Southeast Asia.

Montes, as well as AME Group managing director Kelvin Lee Chai and executive director Simon Lee.
Kelvin Lee said, “Being entrusted by a global leader like Bucher Emhart Glass for the development of their manufacturing facility at i-Park@Senai Airport City is a privilege for AME. This substantial investment validates our efforts to providing world-class facilities and fostering a thriving industrial ecosystem that empowers the growth of international-scale organisations.”
