Parkside celebrates three years in Malaysia

Parkside Flexibles is celebrating the three-year anniversary of its manufacturing facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The plant—the company’s first outside of the United Kingdom—was opened in March 2010 by the Malaysian deputy minister of international trade and industry, Dato Mukriz Matathir.

The facility has enabled Parkside to shorten lead times and improve service levels for customers in the Asia-Pacific region.

Already, Parkside is looking to replicate its Malaysian model elsewhere. “Our success in Malaysia has given us the perfect blue print to open new facilities worldwide,” says Development Director Chris Kozlik.

Further investment is being considered for the Kuala Lumpur plant later this year.
