Langkawi, 20 May 2025 – M The facility supports the national vision outlined in the Malaysia Aerospace Industry Blueprint 20230, led by MITI and its agency NAICO, to position Malaysia as a leading aerospace hub in Asia.
The funding, made available through MBSB Bank and MIDF’s Development Finance facility, is tailored for OEM suppliers, Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers, MRO providers, and aerospace companies investing in expansion, automation, engineering, R&D, and talent development.
Funds are available immediately, with streamlined approvals coordinated through MBSB’s commercial and development finance teams. The Group is also engaging closely with aerospace clusters in Selangor, Johor, and Negeri Seremban to ensure financing support is directed to areas of high industrial impact.
Rafe Haneef, Group CEO of MBSB Group, said: “Aerospace is not just a high-sector, it’s also high-impact. As Malaysia cements its role in the global supply chain and supplies to major OEMs, the returns to our economy are tangible—from skilled job creation to export value. Our RM1 billion facility is designed to scale that impact by backing players with the ambition to lead in manufacturing, design, and innovation. We’re here to fund the future of aerospace which is precisely where Malaysia can lead.”
Prof. Ts. Shamsul Kamar Abu Samah, CEO of NAICO Malaysia, added: “Malaysia’s aerospace industry reached RM25.1 billion in revenue in 2024, driven by strong growth in MRO and manufacturing. MBSB Bank’s RM1 billion facility is a timely boost to this momentum, directly supporting NAICO Malaysia’s mandate under MAIB 2030 and aligning with MITI’s NIMP 2030. We thank MBSB for their commitment to this high-impact collaboration.”
