IJM Construction secures RM1.23 billion semiconductor manufacturing project in Kulim
PETALING JAYA, 12 October 2026 – IJM Construction Sdn Bhd (“IJM Construction”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IJM Corporation Berhad (“IJM” or “the Group”), has secured a RM1.23 billion contract to deliver a semiconductor manufacturing facility at Kulim Hi-Tech Park, Kedah, further strengthening its position in complex, fast-track advanced industrial construction.
The 14-month project involves the design development, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning of the manufacturing facility, with IJM Construction responsible for an integrated scope spanning civil, structural and architectural works, mechanical and electrical systems, cleanroom and process utilities, as well as supporting infrastructure.
The development comprises a four-storey production building, a three-storey central utility building, water and wastewater infrastructure, external works and associated facilities. Industrialised Building System (IBS) precast components will be incorporated into the project, while the production building is targeted to achieve LEED Gold certification.
Construction is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026 and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2027. The client is a global technology company serving the semiconductor and advanced electronics sectors.
Dato’ Lee Chun Fai, Group CEO & Managing Director of IJM Corporation Berhad, said: “This award builds on the capabilities IJM Construction has developed in advanced manufacturing. Semiconductor facilities demand a high degree of technical coordination across the building, M&E systems, cleanroom environment and process utilities, while meeting demanding programme requirements.
“The scale and integrated scope of this project, together with its 14-month delivery programme, demonstrate our ability to manage technically complex projects at speed. We are also drawing on our construction and IBS capabilities to support greater efficiency and delivery certainty.”
The latest award follows RM909.5 million in semiconductor and medical technology projects secured by IJM Construction in August 2026, further extending its presence in fast-track advanced industrial construction.
Following the latest award, IJM Construction’s outstanding order book stands at approximately RM10.6 billion, providing multi-year earnings visibility across building construction, advanced industrial facilities and civil engineering.
