Strand Aerospace Malaysia Sdn Bhd aims to become a premier provider of high-end engineering services in Asia-Pacific via its partnership with AKKA Technologies. <\/p>\n
Its chief operating officer, Naguib Mohd Nor, said the partnership would allow the company to spread its wings into new engineering services including rail and automotive sectors. <\/p>\n
\"Right now we have already trained around 10 to 15 engineers and we expect to reach our target of 30 to 35 trained engineers by end of this year. <\/p>\n
\"AKKA is quite happy with the current level of quality engineers we produced, and our capability to continue to produce the right level of engineers is quite dependent on our relationship with AKKA,\" he said after signing a Priority Resourcing Agreement with AKKA here today. <\/p>\n
He said the partnership is a testament to Strand Aerospace's capability in providing its services globally, and also the high level of confidence and trust that international businesses have in Malaysia. <\/p>\n
\"Today, much of the high-value design work in Malaysia is outsourced to countries such as Taiwan, Korea and India. <\/p>\n
\"By growing engineering services domestically, Malaysia can utilise domestic capabilities and manpower, moving the local aerospace industry up the value chain,\" he said. <\/p>\n
AKKA is a multiple engineering services verticals provider, including aerospace, rail, automotive, electronics and maritime domains. <\/p>\n
Its vice-president Stephane Woitok said through this agreement AKKA hopes to be able to further capitalise on the high quality of Malaysian engineering resources that Strand Aerospace is developing. <\/p>\n
\"Strand Aerospace present us with a unique opportunity to benefit from having a European standard resource in an Asian location,\" he added. Bernama <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
