New Koh Bros plant to double precast output

MAINBOARD-LISTED Koh Brothers Group is set to double its annual precast production output, after opening its first precast plant in Senai, one of the flagship zones in the Iskandar region in Johor.

The company said yesterday that its wholly-owned building materials unit G&W Group has started operations at the plant, which will be able to produce about 75,000 cubic metres of precast material a year when it achieves full capacity.

The plant will manufacture a wide range of prefab components that can be used for residential, industrial and infrastructure purposes, such as columns, beams and facades, and is expected to be fully operational by the end of this year.
