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 accepted a Letter of Acceptance (“LOA”) together with a supplementary addendum from Johor Corporation (“JCorp”) for the execution of infrastructure works at the Tanjung Langsat Industrial Complex, Pasir Gudang, Johor.
The RM47.6 million award marks Advancecon’s third major Johor contract secured in 2026 and reinforces the Group’s growing role as an infrastructure partner within the state’s industrial expansion, a trajectory underpinned by the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (“JS-SEZ”) and intensifying cross-border business activities.
The contract covers the construction and completion of roadworks, drainage systems, street lighting, landscaping, and other associated infrastructure works across Jalan Teruntum 4, Jalan Teruntum 5, part of Jalan Teruntum 1, and part of Jalan Rumbia 2 within the industrial complex. The project is scheduled for completion within 12 months, commencing from 28 April 2026.
Tanjung Langsat Industrial Complex sits within Johor’s Pasir Gudang industrial corridor, a key node supporting manufacturing, logistics and downstream activities. The supporting road and drainage infrastructure works are expected to enhance internal connectivity and site efficiency, strengthening the area’s readiness for continued industrial expansion.
This is Advancecon’s latest engagement supporting Johor’s industrial build-out, following its earlier wins for the Southern Catalyst Innovation District (RM82.1 million) and Southern Ibrahim Technopolis (RM148.4 million), collectively reinforcing the Group’s established footprint along Malaysia’s most active industrial corridor.
This win marks a deepening of Advancecon’s strategic relationship with JCorp, Johor’s principal state-owned development corporation, built on a foundation of consistent delivery and execution discipline. Repeat engagements with reputable, long-term clients of this calibre highlight the Group’s evolution to being a trusted infrastructure partner for Malaysia’s most ambitious developers.
Mdm. Phum Boon Eng, Managing Director of Advancecon Holdings Berhad, said,
“We are honoured to be entrusted by Johor Corporation for this infrastructure package within the Tanjung Langsat Industrial Complex. The works will deliver essential roadworks, drainage and supporting infrastructure that strengthen internal access, improve site functionality and support industrial readiness for businesses operating in the area.
We are seeing a clear acceleration of industrial activity across Johor, catalysed by initiatives such as the JS-SEZ and broader cross-border integration. As demand for industrial-ready infrastructure rises, we are proud to contribute our execution capabilities to essential works that support sustained industrial expansion in Johor’s growth areas.
We remain committed to delivering high-quality works on time and to the required standards, as we position Advancecon to capture the upside from Johor’s evolving industrial landscape.”
Advancecon continues to focus on selectively securing infrastructure and industrial development projects that align with its core strengths in earthworks and civil engineering, particularly within high-growth regions such as Johor. With disciplined execution and a growing footprint in high-activity industrial corridors, the Group remains focused on translating project momentum into consistent delivery outcomes for its clients and stakeholders.
