Petaling Jaya, 08 October 2025 — Liftech Group Bhd, a Malaysian company specialising in customised industrial lifting and handling equipment, has announced plans to list on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia. The company aims to expand its presence and accelerate growth through the proposed IPO.
In its prospectus exposure, Liftech revealed that it intends to issue 79.23 million new ordinary shares under the public offering portion of the IPO. M & A Securities Sdn Bhd has been appointed as the sponsor for the listing exercise.
Liftech’s core business encompasses a wide array of industrial lifting and handling equipment, including industrial cranes, industrial lifts, dock levellers, and aerial work platforms. The company said that the IPO proceeds will finance the establishment of new facilities, acquisition of machinery and equipment, working capital, repayment of bank borrowings, and listing-related expenses.
To boost manufacturing efficiency, Liftech has emphasized plans to upgrade its operations via new machinery and streamlined production processes.
Strategic Vision & Market Implications
The decision to seek a listing on the ACE Market reflects Liftech’s ambition to raise its capital profile and tap into public market funding, thereby enabling faster consolidation in the industrial equipment space. The IPO will also allow Liftech to access broader investor interest, increase liquidity for shareholders, and enhance credibility among clients and partners.
Given Malaysia’s ongoing industrial development and infrastructure projects, demand for lifting and handling equipment is expected to grow, a trend that Liftech aims to ride with increased production capacity and market reach.
However, as with many IPO candidates, execution risk looms. The company will need to convince investors of its ability to scale sustainably, manage capital expenditures prudently, and maintain competitive differentiation in a sector where equipment reliability, service, and after-sales support are critical.
