EP Manufacturing Berhad (EPMB) recently celebrated an important milestone with the production of its 1,000th vehicle at the Pegoh assembly plant in Melaka.

According to Mr. Hamidon Abdullah, the Executive Chairman of EPMB, “Today marks the beginning of a new era for EPMB. Reflecting on the challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, we remained resilient and are now building a solid foundation for the future.

“The first phase of the vehicle assembly plant in Pegoh, Melaka, is a testament to our vision. Our collaboration with GWM has achieved significant success, and this momentum will continue as we prepare to assemble additional GWM models.

“We expect the capacity of Phase 1 to be fully utilized by the end of 2025. For Phase 2, production capacity will be enhanced by an additional 30,000 units per year, while Phase 3 will focus on vehicle body manufacturing and painting processes.”

It is understood that EPMB plans to assemble several GWM models, including the Jolion HEV (Q2 2025) and Wey 80 (Q4 2025), as well as two BAIC models, the Beijing X55 and BJ40 (Q1 2025).

The plant, located in Alor Gajah, has an annual production capacity of 15,000 units and a workforce of 160 employees.

EPMB is also prioritizing the localization of vehicle components to strengthen the local automotive industry.

Through facilities in Kulim, Tanjung Malim, Batang Kali, Shah Alam, and Melaka, EPMB has begun the localization of essential components for GWM vehicles, including seats, steering column frames, rear axles, suspension systems, brakes, instrument panels, center consoles, and door trim panels.
