PETALING JAYA: DXN Holdings Bhd’s wholly owned subsidiary, DXN Industries (M) Sdn Bhd, has entered into a 60-year lease with Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Kedah (PKNK) for five parcels of industrial land in Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah, measuring about 1.2 million sq ft (26.6 acres), for RM27.8 million.
The site will house a new manufacturing facility to expand production capacity and support growing international demand.
Together with its existing operations in Jitra, the facility will form an integrated manufacturing base in Kedah, enabling better coordination, cost optimisation and use of existing workforce and infrastructure.
The lease marks DXN’s largest land acquisition for production facilities to date.
Founder and executive chairman Datuk Lim Siow Jin said the new facility is a key step in strengthening DXN’s global supply chain and scaling production capabilities in line with its international growth.
“The BKH facility will support greater production capacity, supply consistency and closer coordination across our vertically integrated operations worldwide,” he said in a statement.
The expansion follows the recent launch of new plants in Nepal and Bangladesh, with further facilities planned in Bolivia, Peru, Morocco and Kelantan, targeted for completion in 2027.
DXN, which has operated in Kedah for over three decades, said the move reinforces its commitment to the state, following an MoU with Invest Kedah Bhd signed in July 2025 to support its expansion plans.
