Malaysia’s aerospace industry needs anchor companies to create final products for the global market, says Shahiman.Malaysia is poised to become Southeast Asia’s aerospace industry hub, driven by a robust ecosystem, but faces challenges in production capacity, talent and product development, particularly in manufacturing, according to Turkish Aerospace Malaysia CEO Mohd Shahiman Sulaiman.
“Malaysia has proven capabilities in design. Malaysia’s strength lies in its design capability. Whatever it is, car, robot, aircraft, Malaysia can design it,” he said. “Where does the design go? Where is it sold? This has always been a limitation in Malaysia. One of the ways we can address this is through the presence of anchor companies. What makes a product successfully sell in the market? You need the capability for commercialisation,” he said.
However, he said the current industry capacity in Malaysia needs substantial scaling up to meet the demand. “And in scaling up in aero manufacturing, what is limiting Malaysia is the production capacity.”
