MAIN Market-listed electronic manufacturing services (EMS) solutions provider with global presence, Cape EMS Bhd has been selected as one of the recipients of financing support under Maybank’s Johor-Singapore Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) initiative.
The initiative is a national programme designed to catalyse cross-border trade, green technology and high-value manufacturing in the Southern Corridor.
The facility was formalised via a financing offer letter issued to Cape EMS in conjunction with the launch of Maybank’s Forest City Service Centre aimed at empowering high-growth enterprises and small-to-mid-sized industries within the JS-SEZ corridor.
This forms part of Maybank’s RM15 bil financing and investment commitment for the JS-SEZ that comprises RM10 bil in direct financing and up to RM5.35 bil in investment interest from clients over the next decade.
Cape EMS is among five Johor-based organisations to receive approximately RM120 mil in collective financing, thus underscoring Maybank’s confidence in the group’s capability to anchor regional clean-energy and manufacturing growth.
In a way, the financing provides strategic headroom for Cape EMS’s next phase of expansion across key growth verticals, including:
Localised assembly and lifecycle management of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS);
Deployment of EV (electric car)-related charging and smart-mobility infrastructure; and
Scaling of precision EMS operations within its Senai facilities.
This milestone builds upon Cape EMS’s recent progress in forming regional technology partnerships, advancing in-house manufacturing capabilities for clean-energy components and supporting high-value industries aligned with Malaysia’s energy transition and smart-city agenda.
“This financing we receive as a key participant in Maybank’s JS-SEZ initiative underscores institutional confidence in our strategic direction in addition to providing us with the runway to fast-track next-generation clean-energy and infrastructure solutions,” commented Cape EMS in a media statement.
“Our focus is clear – to build scalable, bankable systems that advance national and climate goals while creating long-term value for our clients, partners and stakeholders.”
Very broadly, the group’s participation in the JS-SEZ programme aligns closely with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the government’s objective to strengthen the Johor-Singapore corridor as a catalyst for sustainable industrial growth, clean-technology adoption and regional investment.
At the close of today’s (Nov 11) market trading, Cape EMS was unchanged at 28 sen with 386,500 shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM278 mil. – Nov 11, 2025
