SHAH ALAM, May 28 (Bernama) -- BAADER, a global leader in food processing and technology, officially inaugurated its new production facility, BAADER Food Systems Asia Sdn. Bhd, in Shah Alam here today.
This momentous occasion marks a strategic milestone for BAADER, significantly expanding its operational footprint in Southeast Asia and reinforcing its commitment to fostering innovation and sustainable practices within Malaysia's thriving industrial ecosystem.
Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid said the Shah Alam facility will play a vital role in offering high-performance machinery, digital monitoring tools, and data-driven production insights.
“BAADER’s advanced food processing technologies play a vital role in strengthening the stability and efficiency of the food supply chain.
“By enhancing processing capabilities, minimising waste, and optimising resource utilisation, BAADER’s innovations are instrumental in supporting the sustainable production needed to feed a growing global population,” he said.
“This event marks an important step in our continued efforts to strengthen Malaysia’s position as a regional hub for advanced manufacturing and food processing technology.” he said in a statement made available here today.
The statement also stated that among the distinguished guests at the inauguration included Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari; Deputy Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Malaysia, Ulrike Wolf; BAADER Global CEO, Honorary Consul Petra Baader; and Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) executive director of Manufacturing Development (Non-Resource) Norhizam Ibrahim.
Meanwhile, Amirudin stressed that the BAADER’s vision is aligned with Selangor’s commitment to continuing their path in maintaining world-class infrastructure and a globally-competent talent pool from over 150 universities across the state.
In my second term, I made a commitment that Selangor will aim to offer 100,000 quality, high-paying jobs, especially to our young people, and I’m glad to share that we are well on our way to achieving that.
“Welcome to Selangor -- and thank you for choosing Shah Alam. Together, I believe the success of BAADER and Selangor will be even sweeter for the benefit of all Selangorians," he said.
BAADER Food Systems Asia will serve as a dual-purpose production and innovation hub, enabling the development and deployment of tailored solutions for the diverse needs of the Asian poultry and fish processing industries.
This new establishment perfectly complements BAADER’s long-standing presence in Singapore and Beijing (China), further solidifying its extensive global network.
BAADER’s enhanced operational capacity in Malaysia not only strengthens its ability to provide localised support to its clientele but also underscores the company’s continuous investment in building resilient supply chains, fostering technological innovation, and nurturing mutually beneficial partnerships across the entire Southeast Asian landscape.
