QEW Group Berhad has officially launched a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the development of the QEW Smart Integrated Industrial Park (QSIIP), a strategic industrial initiative positioned at the Malaysia–Thailand border in Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah.
Developed via its wholly-owned subsidiary, QEW Smart Integrated Industrial Park Sdn. Bhd., and in collaboration with Invest Kedah Berhad, the project underscores a broader push to strengthen cross-border economic activity and regional industrial integration.
Spanning approximately 258 acres, the development is strategically located within a key trade corridor and aligned with the Indonesia–Malaysia–Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) framework. The initiative is expected to serve as a catalyst for enhanced logistics connectivity, industrial expansion, and cross-border trade flows between Malaysia and its northern neighbours.
The QSIIP development will be executed in two phases. The first phase comprises a 200-acre Smart Integrated Industrial Zone, designed to accommodate advanced manufacturing and industrial activities. This will be complemented by a 58-acre commercial and mixed-use component, aimed at supporting business ecosystems and ancillary services.
With an estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of approximately RM1.0 billion, the project is projected to be developed over a period of three to ten years.
As part of its rollout, QEW Group has initiated an Expression of Interest (EOI) stage under the RFP process, inviting participation from qualified developers, infrastructure partners, contractors, and strategic investors. This marks the first step in assembling a consortium of stakeholders to drive the project’s development and long-term viability.
EOI submissions are set to close on 4 May 2026, with a formal briefing scheduled to take place on 7 May 2026 at QEW Group Berhad’s headquarters in Putrajaya.
The launch of QSIIP reflects a growing emphasis on regional connectivity, industrial modernisation, and investment-led growth, reinforcing Malaysia’s position as a strategic gateway within Southeast Asia’s evolving economic landscape.
