Penang Industrial Master Plan 2030: Ushering a New Era for Smart Manufacturing in Malaysia

On 20 June 2025, Preston Technology had the opportunity to attend the official launch of the Pelan Induk Perindustrian Negeri Pulau Pinang 2030 (PIPNPP2030), a forward looking strategy led by PLANMalaysia at Pulau Pinang, Perbadanan Pembangunan Pulau Pinang (PDC), and InvestPenang.

This master plan presents a clear vision for Penang to evolve into a smart, sustainable and globally competitive industrial hub. With a strong emphasis on IR 5.0, PIPNPP2030 highlights key priorities such as Greenfield and Brownfield industrial zoning, smart infrastructure, circular economy practices and the development of future ready talent through TVET and digital programs.

For Malaysian manufacturers, the plan marks a critical shift. It encourages industries to adopt smarter production systems, digital integration and environmentally responsible practices. These areas align closely with Preston Technology’s core offerings, including smart press workstations, MES integration and data driven production tools for high mix low volume environments.

The state's focus on strategic industrial clustering, improved logistics and sustainable utilities presents a valuable opportunity for industry players to prepare for the future and stay aligned with global manufacturing trends.

As a technology provider based in Penang, we are encouraged by the state's long term vision and remain committed to supporting both local and international manufacturers in this industrial transformation journey.
