NGC Energy, Mula Sign MoU To Empower Malaysia's Laundry Sector

KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 (Bernama) -- NGC Energy Malaysia has taken a strategic step forward in supporting the laundry industry by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Malay Unified Laundry Association (MULA).

NGC Energy, in a statement, said this collaboration aims to provide safe, compliant, and cost-effective liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) solutions to laundry entrepreneurs across the country.

The MoU was inked between NGC Energy chief executive officer Julianna Kamaruddin and MULA president Zarina Ismail during the Forum Industri Dobi 2025 held at MeReka, Publika Shopping Gallery on July 15.

Julianna highlighted NGC Energy's role as a pioneer in LPG engineering in Malaysia, which offers a full suite of LPG solutions, from bulk and piped systems to commercial cylinders like C50 and C14, designed to meet the evolving needs of the laundry sector.

“Our goal is simple to ensure every laundry operator under MULA has access to fit-for-purpose and safe LPG supply and installation, support on licensing and permits, and reliable after-sales service through our nationwide network,” she said.

According to NGC Energy, this collaboration was inspired by customer feedback and aims to extend support to all MULA members, addressing operators' unfamiliarity with permit requirements and safety regulations, especially in the wake of enforcement under Ops Gasak by the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry.  

“In the short term, NGC will support members with technical guidance and assist with necessary regulatory compliance. In the long run, the company hopes to become a one-stop LPG partner for the laundry industry, providing not just gas supply, but also knowledge sharing, training, and ongoing support,” the statement read.

In addition, this initiative also reflects NGC Energy’s broader strategy to strengthen its Industrial and Commercial (I&C) segment, positioning itself as the preferred LPG solutions provider across small and medium enterprise (SME) sectors.

“With an extensive LPG distribution network in Malaysia and a dedicated Customer Service Centre (CSC), NGC assures MULA members of seamless and safe gas deliveries, price competitiveness, and prompt support.

“The collaboration also paves the way for cross-marketing, innovation exchange, and greater team cohesion between both organisations,” it added.

NGC Energy welcomes other laundry associations and SME operators across Malaysia to explore similar partnerships, driving compliance, growth, and innovation in tandem.
