SGX-listed UMS Holdings buys 5.38 acres in Penang for $4.5m

The company now has 1.2 million sqft of space in Singapore and Malaysia.

SGX-listed UMS Holdings acquired 5.38 acres or approximately 235,000 square feet (sqft) of leasehold industrial land in Malaysia’s Penang Science Park North for approximately S$4.5m.

The leasehold has a tenure of 60 years.

UMS Holdings, which provides equipment manufacturing and engineering services, will have 1.2 million sqft of combined space in Singapore and Malaysia following this acquisition.

The acquisition will be funded internally from UMS’ placement proceeds raised in January 2024. It is not expected to have any material financial impact on the company within the current fiscal year, according to UMS Holdings’ announcement.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
