The industrial space solutions provider said the contract came on the heels of HQ Pack taking delivery of its recently-completed 60,000 square feet manufacturing facility in i-Park@Indahpura in November 2021.
AME group managing director Kelvin Lee Chai said HQ Pack's fast-paced expansions would have a positive multiplier effect on job creation in Johor, with HQ Pack's workforce expected to exceed 400-strong by 2023 from 210 currently.
Lee said the quality of workforce would also be enhanced, given HQ Pack's high-technology expertise.
"Continued large-scale investments such as this affirm Johor's position as one of the top five states in Malaysia for total approved investments," he said in a statement.
HQ Pack, a subsidiary of Netherlands-based high-tech packaging manufacturer HQ Pack B.V, has established presence in Malaysia since 2010.
Together with facilities in Singapore and the United States, it develops, produces and distributes packaging for high-quality and fragile industrial products for leading companies.
HQ Pack had the groundbreaking ceremony of its sixth facility in i-Park@Indahpura today, which will feature an agreed lettable area of 100,000 square feet, comprising a warehouse and office block.
The facility is slated for completion in the second half of 2023.
AME is currently constructing three integrated industrial parks in Johor: i-Park@Indahpura (Phase 3), i-Park@Senai Airport City (Phases 1, 2 and 3) and i-TechValley.
