IPOH, Perak, July 25 (Bernama) -- Chemical Industries (Malaya) Sdn. Bhd. (CIM), a subsidiary of public-listed Hexza Corporation Berhad, today inaugurated its state- of-the-art corn-based ethanol production facility in Persiaran Tasek, Ipoh, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth and innovation journey. The new plant exemplifies CIM’s unwavering commitment to quality, sustainability, and the advancement of its operations through modern, circular production methods.
In a strategic shift from molasses to corn as its primary feedstock, CIM now produces ethanol through natural fermentation and distillation using high-quality corn. A key byproduct of this process - Distiller’s Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) – is repurposed into high-value livestock feed, reinforcing CIM’s adoption of circular economy principles. This makes CIM the first manufacturer and supplier of locally produced DDGS in Malaysia, supporting both food security and sustainable agriculture.
