（吉隆坡23日讯）Industronics Bhd通过财团，成功入围总值33亿欧元（154亿8000万令吉）的吉打航空城（Kedah Aerotropolis）发展项目。

除了Industronics，该财团成员还有蓝山金融集团有限公司（Bluemount Financial Group Ltd）和中国投资有限责任公司（简称中投公司）。

Industronics执行董事拿督周汶忠今日在文告中指出：“成功入围这项目，意味着认可了我们过往强劲的记录和财务实力坚强的合作伙伴，这也让我们更有优势能确保吉打航空城发展成功。”

他说，随着中国重新开放，从而带来了更多商机，亦有助推动Industronics和其中国合作伙伴之间的合作。

计划拓展其信贷租赁业务

除了吉打航空城项目，中投公司也同意支持Industronics信贷租赁臂膀TTE Electronics私人有限公司的扩展计划，计划投资其微型融资业务。

TTE Electronics拥有租赁执照，将涉足微型融资和信贷租赁业务。

该集团计划通过其独资持有的TTE Electronics来扩大信贷租赁业务，并会寻求大马证券监督委员会（SC）的批准，为其在东南亚的拓展计划筹资10亿令吉。

而且，此拓展计划还包括了TTE Electronics和Bikesome的策略合作关系。这是一家亚洲的二手摩多车平台，双方计划携手展开摩多车信贷租赁业务。

周汶忠补充：“有了中投公司支持我们的信贷租赁业务，势必加速我们的信贷设施和业务发展，进一步提升我们在区域的品牌和市场地位，并且还让我们更有实力将业务拓展至东南亚其他竞争激烈的市场。”

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 23): Industronics Bhd via a consortium has been shortlisted for the Kedah Aerotropolis development project (Kedah Airport project) worth €3.3 billion (RM15.48 billion).

The consortium comprises Industronics, Hong Kong-based stockbroking firm Bluemount Financial Group Ltd and China-based sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corp (CIC).

In a statement on Friday (Dec 23), Industronics executive director Datuk Chu Boon Tiong said this shortlisting recognises the group’s track record and established partners with strong financial backing, putting it in a good position to secure the planned Kedah Airport project.

The partnership between Industronics and its Chinese partners will gain further momentum with the reopening of China, opening up more business opportunities for the group, he said.

To expand credit leasing business

In addition to collaborating on the Kedah Airport project, CIC has also agreed to support the expansion plans of Industronics’ credit leasing arm, TTE Electronics Sdn Bhd, by investing in its microfinance business.

TTE Electronics owns a leasing licence and is also involved in the microfinance and credit leasing business.

Industronics plans to expand its presence in the credit leasing business via TTE Electronics and will seek approval from the Securities Commission Malaysia to raise RM1 billion funds for its expansion in Southeast Asia.

The expansion will also see a strategic collaboration with TTE Electronics with Bikesome, a second-hand motorbike platform in Asia, for the credit leasing of motorbikes.

“With CIC coming in to support our credit leasing business, this would enhance our brand and market position in the region as these investments could accelerate the advancement of our credit,” said Chu.

“There are a lot of challenges in the credit leasing industry as well as the global economy in the near term. Southeast Asia is in a better position to grow following the lacklustre performance in the last two years due to Covid-19. With the reopening of the economy and the support and backing from our strategic partner, we are confident that the expansion of our credit leasing arm business and microfinance in Southeast Asia will be a success,” he added.

Industronics’ share price was unchanged at 8.5 sen as of Friday (Dec 23) noon break, valuing it RM46.49 million.
