KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24 (Bernama) -- Gamalux has reached a significant milestone with the construction of its new plant at Pulau Indah, which is progressing on schedule and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.

Chief executive officer Usman Ahmed said with that with an annual production capacity of around 90,000 tonnes of various renewable and sustainable feedstocks for SAF and hydrotreated vegetable oil, this facility will not only support the company’s existing markets but also open new opportunities for high-value sustainable energy solutions.

“The new manufacturing plant at West Port, Port Klang, embodies our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence. It is a cornerstone of our future expansion plans, enabling us to tap into new markets, create more job opportunities, and solidify our position as an industry leader,” he added.
