Boon Siew Honda to invest RM200m in new plant

Posted on 23 September 2011 - 05:41am

GEORGE TOWN (Sept 22, 2011): Boon Siew Honda Sdn Bhd is to build a RM200 million motorcycle production facility in Penang to replace the existing Mak Mandin plant in Butterworth.

Construction of the new facility in Batu Kawan is to begin in November for completion in the first half of 2013.

It will be five times larger than the existing plant and have an annual production capacity of 350,000 units per year.

CEO Satoshi Okada said the new plant will employ another 100 people in production and quality assurance, in addition to the existing 1,000 all-local workforce when operational.

He said it will be an "environmentally-responsible and people-friendly plant" as it would employ various advanced technologies such as a solar photovoltaic system, a lighting system using sunlight and technologies for better ergonomics.

"The motorcycle market in Malaysia has been showing steady growth and a further growth trend is expected. It was in this context that Boon Siew Honda made the decision to build a new motorcycle plant," Okada told a press conference Thursday.

Also present were Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, senior executives of Boon Siew Honda, and representatives from Penang Development Coropration (PDC), InvestPenang and other government agencies.

The current plant manufactures six motorcycle models — the EX5 Dream, Wave 100, Wave Dash, Wave 110, Wave 125 and the Icon — for the local market.

Production of the six models will continue at the new plant and there are plans to produce models with medium-size engines as well as high-value-added models.

Boon Siew Honda, a joint venture between Oriental Holdings Bhd and Honda Motor Co Ltd, is the market leader for motorcycles with a 45% share. It sold some 220,000 units in 2010.

Since local production of Honda motorcycles started in 1969, a total of 4.23 million units have been manufactured.

Meanwhile, Lim said Honda is an important part of the Penang economy because it has a large spillover effect.

"Lots of providers of ancillary services rely on Honda and these services are an important part of Penang's strategy for growth," he said.

As I watched, I suddenly remembered this part of being a teenager. Half the time they’re doing something incredibly bad — tying another kid to a pole with the belt from their school uniform or smoking pot in the alley. That’s what teenagers are famous for. But you forget the side of them that just lives in the moment and laughs all afternoon and feels a rock song the way adults never can and spends all day looking for the most original way to shout out: “I am here! I am me!”

2009

2008-11-22T10:59:00.003+08:00

End of the year again. Christmas decorations are already being seen at shopping malls.

This on hindsight has been a difficult year to manoeuvre. At the begining of the year it could be seen that inflation would be on the rise this year due to large global demands (or is it speculation?, we will never know as it is probably a little of both). Prices of raw material for construction, in particular steel for us, rose at least 30% in the first half of the year.

With the majority of our work being prefabricated structural steel and also the high use of steel reinforcement bars in the reinforced concrete work, it became extremely difficult to price/bid for work.

Then the story of the second half of the year was the globalisation of the financial crisis in America. That story is presently still unfolding for us here in Malaysia and South East Asia.

We have had just sufficient work to keep us sane this year. Strangely enough it has been the year when we have had the largest values of inquiries since the last 15 years.

We hope that 2009 will be a better year, but realistically realize that the present state of the stockmarkets of the world is probably a half year early indicator of what the real state of the economy is going to be like come next year. It is grim and we will have to be reactive to the requirements of the times.

Our Greatest Fear

2008-11-03T21:31:00.003+08:00

Our Greatest Fear

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.

—Marianne Williamson

The schedule for a project in Penang for ancillary works at a mini blast furnace is due to be completed at the end of this month. Work has progressed smoothly and safely.

The only minor hiccup has been the paperwork for the certification of progress billings on the consulting engineers side. The payment from the client has been prompt and on time.

Due out, we hope to be successful in bidding for additional packages in the project as price of material in the construction market has trended toward some stability.

We will be starting work on a new project for a European Multinational investment in Shah Alam, Malaysia. The project is for a food manufacturing facility. Due to confidentiality, we are unable to write more about it.

It has been a difficult year in terms of securing projects due to the severe inflation within the construction sector. Products that we use have, in some cases, gone up as much as 30% in the half year or past two quarters. We are keeping a close eye on inflation but hope to bid more aggresively for work this second half of the year.
