EcoWorld, SD Guthrie, and NS Corp Launch RM2.95 Billion Industrial Park in Negeri Sembilan

A strategic tripartite agreement was inked today to develop Eco Business Park VII (EBP VII), a landmark RM2.95 billion integrated industrial park in Bukit Pelandok, Negeri Sembilan. Spanning 1,195 acres, the project is part of Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) — a flagship economic corridor on Peninsular Malaysia’s west coast.

This collaboration between EcoWorld Development Group Bhd, SD Guthrie Bhd, and NS Corporation marks a pivotal milestone in the national agenda to boost high-value industries, logistics infrastructure, and job creation.

Project Structure and Strategic Partners

The new venture is structured under Eco Business Park 7 Sdn Bhd (EBP 7), with the following equity distribution:

What Is Eco Business Park VII (EBP VII)?

EBP VII will be a multi-phase development designed to attract both local and foreign direct investments. Over a nine-year development horizon, the project will feature:

Industrial lots
Ready-built factories
Commercial hubs and supporting services
Customisable spaces for aerospace, E&E, logistics, and biotechnology sectors

The park’s logistical edge is further enhanced by its planned access to the Nilai-Labu Expressway, linking directly to:

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)
Port Klang
PLUS Highway
The broader West Coast Economic Corridor

This connectivity supports rapid movement of goods and people, offering ideal conditions for high-growth industries and export-focused companies.

Aligned With National Growth Plans

This project is strategically aligned with several national initiatives:

New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030)
National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR)
Negeri Sembilan’s Industrial Transformation Agenda

“This partnership reflects the synergy between public and private sectors. It reinforces our commitment to positioning Negeri Sembilan as a leading industrial hub,” said Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, Chief Minister and Chairman of NS Corp.

🏗 EcoWorld’s Industrial Expertise

EcoWorld currently controls 9,825 acres of landbank across Malaysia with a GDV of RM90 billion. Its industrial focus includes:

Four Eco Business Parks in Iskandar Malaysia
One industrial park in Klang Valley
A proven track record of delivering sustainable, investor-ready ecosystems

“We believe this project will catalyse new employment, investment, and infrastructure in the state,” said Datuk Chang Khim Wah, CEO of EcoWorld.

🌱 SD Guthrie’s Land Transformation Strategy

SD Guthrie, one of Malaysia’s largest landowners, has moved beyond plantations into renewable energy and industrial park development. With 16 estates and two biogas plants in Negeri Sembilan, the company is unlocking value from non-core assets to build sustainable revenue channels.

“This collaboration helps us expand into industrial real estate while strengthening Negeri Sembilan’s economic fabric,” said Datuk Helmy Othman Basha, Group Managing Director of SD Guthrie.

MVV 2.0: A Transformational Growth Corridor

Launched in 2018, Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) covers approximately 380,000 acres across Seremban and Port Dickson. It comprises six parcels (A–F) and is designed to complement the growth of Greater Kuala Lumpur.

EBP VII falls under Parcel C, which is earmarked for industry, logistics, and economic clusters, and plays a crucial role in elevating Negeri Sembilan’s status as a sustainable economic powerhouse.

Final Thoughts: EBP VII to Shape Negeri Sembilan’s Industrial Future

The launch of Eco Business Park VII MVV 2.0 is a strategic leap forward in advancing high-value industry and economic decentralisation from the Klang Valley.

By combining location, logistics, and development experience, EBP VII is poised to become a new magnet for industrial investors, a driver of job creation, and a pillar in Malaysia’s sustainable economic roadmap.
