KUALA LUMPUR, MY / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2026 / Advancecon Holdings Berhad (前进控股有限公司) ("Advancecon" or "the Group") (Bursa: 5281), an established provider of earthworks and civil engineering services in Malaysia, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Advancecon Infra Sdn Bhd ("AISB"), has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Teras Impiana Sdn Bhd ("TISB") to explore and pursue potential business opportunities across construction, engineering, infrastructure, technology, mechanical and electrical ("M&E"), industrial, and mission-critical projects.

Bavananthan Selvamany, Managing Director of Teras Impiana Sdn. Bhd.; Mr. Martin Jayaseelan A/L George Zakaria, Project Director of Teras Impiana Sdn. Bhd.

The MOU is intended to create a platform for both parties to jointly identify, evaluate and pursue suitable project opportunities where Advancecon's established track record in earthworks, civil engineering and infrastructure delivery can complement TISB's specialised EPCC, M&E and mission-critical project capabilities. Over the 12-month MOU period, both parties will explore potential collaboration structures, including joint tendering and project participation, with any confirmed arrangement to be formalised through a definitive agreement.

The collaboration comes at a timely juncture as Malaysia, including Perak, continues to attract interest in data centres, semiconductor-related facilities, advanced manufacturing and clean energy infrastructure. These sectors increasingly require integrated delivery capabilities that combine site preparation, civil engineering, technical infrastructure, M&E systems and commissioning readiness. Against this backdrop, the MOU provides Advancecon and TISB with a platform to jointly explore opportunities in higher-specification infrastructure segments that are aligned with Malaysia's evolving industrial and digital economy landscape.

TISB is an EPCC contractor with experience in delivering high-specification and mission-critical environments, including cleanroom manufacturing facilities, healthcare infrastructure and Tier-rated data centres. Its project references include works involving leading multinational corporations and industry players, including a top 10 global semiconductor player, major data centre operators, healthcare facilities, power generation assets and advanced manufacturing-related facilities. These projects involve highly technical environments where power reliability, safety compliance, controlled execution and minimal operational disruption are critical to maintaining operational continuity.

The company is a G7 CIDB-registered contractor and is also certified under the Energy Commission Class A and Tenaga Nasional Berhad, with capabilities spanning high-voltage electrical works, specialised M&E installations, clean energy systems, civil and structural works, project management, facility management and system integration.

Mdm. Phum Boon Eng, Managing Director of Advancecon Holdings Berhad, commented, "This MOU represents a strategic step for Advancecon as we continue to broaden our participation across infrastructure-adjacent opportunities. By collaborating with a technically specialised EPCC partner such as Teras Impiana, we aim to explore opportunities in higher-specification project segments where civil engineering, infrastructure execution and mission-critical M&E capabilities can complement one another."

She added, "Advancecon's foundation remains in earthworks and civil engineering, but the next phase of infrastructure growth will require more integrated capabilities. Industrial parks, data centres, healthcare facilities and advanced manufacturing projects increasingly require not only site preparation and civil works, but also technical infrastructure, M&E integration and commissioning readiness. This collaboration allows us to explore a stronger value chain proposition for clients and investors."

Ir. Bavananthan, Managing Director of Teras Impiana Sdn Bhd, said, "We are pleased to explore this collaboration with Advancecon, whose established track record in earthworks, civil engineering and infrastructure delivery complements our technical capabilities in mission-critical M&E, cleanroom, data centre and electrical systems. We believe this partnership can create a stronger combined proposition for clients seeking reliable, integrated and technically capable project delivery partners."

He added, "As infrastructure requirements become more specialised, particularly across data centres, healthcare facilities, advanced manufacturing and power-related developments, the ability to combine civil and infrastructure execution with specialised technical systems will be increasingly important. We look forward to working with Advancecon to evaluate opportunities where both parties can bring meaningful value."

The MOU may also support Advancecon's broader industrial development ecosystem, including Silver Valley Technology Park ("SVTP"), by giving potential investors access to integrated design, build, M&E and commissioning support for high-specification facilities. This is aligned with the Group's efforts to strengthen its value proposition across industrial, infrastructure and mission-critical development opportunities.

Advancecon continues to position itself for opportunities within Malaysia's evolving infrastructure landscape, particularly as industrial parks, data centres, healthcare facilities and advanced manufacturing developments increasingly require integrated site preparation, civil engineering and technical infrastructure capabilities. The Group remains focused on disciplined project selection, execution excellence and strategic collaborations that can strengthen its project pipeline while supporting long-term, sustainable growth.
