LSN Malaysia ·
France-based Segula Technologies has announced plans to establish a global engineering centre in Malaysia by the end of 2026, signalling the company's belief that the country can effectively handle sophisticated engineering projects at competitive rates.
The engineering services firm's expansion into Malaysia reflects a broader trend of multinational companies diversifying their engineering operations across Asia. Industry observers note that Malaysia offers advantages including a skilled workforce, established infrastructure, and proximity to key markets in the region.
Segula Technologies specialises in engineering consulting and technical services across automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors. The new centre is expected to support the company's operations across multiple geographies, with Malaysia serving as a hub for regional and global projects.
The move comes as Malaysia seeks to strengthen its position as a regional hub for advanced manufacturing and engineering services. Government initiatives promoting high-tech industries and foreign investment have helped attract engineering firms seeking alternatives to more established centres in India and elsewhere.
Details regarding the size of the initial investment and the number of engineering professionals to be based at the Malaysian centre have not yet been disclosed by the company.
