KEDAH,Malaysia, Feb 23 (Bernama) -- AT&S Malaysia hosted the Executive Councillor of Kedah State for Investment & Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation as well as for Higher Education, YB Dato‘ Wira Dr Ku Abdul Rahman Ku Ismail, for a visit in its office at the Kulim Hi-Tech Park Business Centre on 14 February 2022.
Amongst the topics of discussions between AT&S Malaysia and YB Dato‘ Wira Ku Abdul Rahman were talent acquisition in the Electrical and Electronic (E&E) industry, university collaboration and the supply of renewable energy. Mr Vittorio Villari, the Executive Project Officer of AT&S Malaysia, welcomes his visit, “YB Dato‘ Wira has provided the necessary support, and advice on industry linkages and university collaboration that are crucial for AT&S to operate in Kedah.“
As AT&S seeks to reduce carbon footprint, and achieves carbon neutrality by Year 2030, Mr. Markus Sterba, the Technical Project Director of AT&S Malaysia, adds, “The availability of higher level of green energy supply, such as solar energy, hydroelectricity and biomass energy, would determine if we can achieve our corporate goal of becoming carbon free. Therefore, we are in constant engagement with NUR and other potential energy providers to explore alternative energy supplies in Kulim Hi-Tech Park that meet our needs.“
YB Dato‘ Wira was also taken for a visit at the construction site, where the two key production plants, an administrative building and a few other utility buildings, will be seated on. In Dato‘ Wira Ku Abdul Rahman’s own words, “The progress of work at site is remarkable. The speed of construction for a project at this scale, and the safety standard demonstrated at the site, are impressive.“
AT&S Malaysia aims to complete the piling works by March 2022 and that would pave way for the construction of super-structure for the production buildings.
