Future Plans for Growth:

  • Construction of a new factory to house more premade pastes production lines.

A1AKK plans to construct a new manufacturing facility adjacent to its existing plant in Senai, Johor to expand production capacity for its premade pastes, in response to growing market demand. The new facility will comprise a 17,000 sqft production floor and a 17,000 sqft storage space, with construction scheduled to begin in 4Q25 and complete by 4Q26. The project is expected to cost RM5.0m, funded via IPO proceeds, while additional machinery amounting up to RM4.0m will be financed through internal funds and/or borrowings. The freehold land has been successfully converted for industrial use as of June 2025, and the semi-automated production line is expected to start operations in Q4 2027, increasing annual production capacity for premade pastes by 100% from 468 tonnes to 936 tonnes.

RM1.8m from IPO proceeds will be allocated for the acquisition of three new machines: (i) a high-speed packing machine for small seasoning sachets, increasing packing speed by 5x from 30packs/min to 150 packs/min, (ii) a bundle packing machine to automate the packing of instant noodle packets instead of manual packing, and (iii) two retort sterilisation machines to improve food safety through high-temperature steam sterilisation.
