PENANG, Malaysia, 28 June 2025 – Malaysia’s ambitions to become Southeast Asia’s leading electric vehicle (EV) hub took a major leap forward today with the official launch of INV New Material Technology Sdn. Bhd.’s cutting-edge lithium-ion battery separator facility.
The state-of-the-art plant, located on a 26.7ha site at Penang Technology Park @ Bertam, will produce advanced wet-process and coated battery separators, critical components for electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems and consumer electronics. Once fully completed, the facility is expected to be the largest of its kind in the world.
The ceremony was officiated by Penang Chief Minister, YAB Chow Kon Yeow, alongside other distinguished government officials and industry leaders. The newly launched facility will produce 1.3 billion square metres of wet-processed and coated lithium-ion separators – an essential component in EV battery manufacturing.
Speaking at the inauguration, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow welcomed the project as a major boost to the state’s high-tech and green industry ecosystem. The plant is expected to create 1,200 skilled jobs and foster partnerships with local universities to promote research and innovation in battery technologies.
