SCIENTEX BERHAD

SCIENTEX BERHAD stands as one of Malaysia’s most quietly expansive industrial groups — a company that bridges manufacturing and housing, two foundations of modern life.

From packaging that protects goods to homes that shelter families, its presence spans both industry and society, embedding itself into the essentials of everyday living.

Its journey reflects a powerful truth — that true scale is built by serving both production and people.

Some companies begin with capital — SCIENTEX began with material.

In 1968, it started as Scientific Textile Industries, producing PVC leather and industrial sheeting from a modest manufacturing base.

There was no diversification and no ecosystem, only production.

Yet within that focused beginning, the company steadily expanded along the value chain, evolving from textiles into advanced flexible plastic packaging and industrial materials, building capabilities that positioned it within global supply chains.

The defining shift came in the 1990s when land, once a supporting asset, became a new direction.

SCIENTEX entered property development, focusing not on luxury segments, but on affordable housing where demand was most urgent.

This transformed the company into a dual-engine group — one driving industrial manufacturing for international markets, the other developing homes for local communities.

From factory floors to family neighbourhoods, its journey reflects a powerful truth — that growth becomes enduring when it serves both industry and society.

Core Activities include:

• Manufacturing of flexible plastic packaging and industrial materials

• Development of affordable residential townships

• Integrated production across the packaging value chain

• Strategic landbanking and property expansion

The Group’s operational model focuses on dual-sector growth through manufacturing scale and affordable housing development. By combining global packaging production with property development for mass-market housing, SCIENTEX BERHAD positions itself as both an industrial manufacturer and a community-focused property developer.

Notable Offerings Include:

• Stretch films and flexible packaging solutions for global markets

• Industrial plastic materials and packaging systems

• Affordable housing developments across Malaysia

• Integrated township projects

These offerings have enabled SCIENTEX BERHAD to serve international manufacturers, consumer goods companies, logistics supply chains, and Malaysian homebuyers. Its portfolio connects industrial protection, packaging efficiency, affordable housing, and township development into a balanced business ecosystem.

Beyond manufacturing, Scientex has expanded access to affordable housing nationwide, contributing to residential development for mass-market buyers and growing communities.

Its dual focus on industrial production and housing demonstrates how corporate growth can support both economic infrastructure and social infrastructure.

Some companies build products — SCIENTEX builds both industry and homes.

From industrial materials to human living spaces, its legacy is not defined by sector, but by balance.

Its journey stands as a testament that when growth serves both economy and society, it becomes sustainable.
