KUALA LUMPUR: Oxford Innotech Berhad (“OXB”), an integrated engineering solutions provider, is set to leverage the growing demand for automation in manufacturing as industries worldwide push for greater efficiency, higher consistency, and stronger operational resilience.
The Group, which was listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia on 29 July 2025, provides integrated engineering, mechanical assembly, automation, and robotics solutions. Its automation division designs and manufactures standalone automated equipment and production line systems while also delivering smart factory systems and technical support. The company’s key clientele includes players in the semiconductor and electrical and electronics (E&E) sectors.
Managing Director Ng Thean Gin said OXB is positioning itself firmly within the Industry 4.0 landscape, where smart factory systems integrate technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, cloud computing, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
“At OXB, we collaborate with strategic global partners to deliver innovative automation solutions. Shanghai-based JAKA Robotics Co. Ltd is one such partner and an important contributor to our efforts,” Ng said.
JAKA Robotics is a leading global player in collaborative robotics, with operations across China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, and the United States. Its collaborative robots, or “cobots,” are designed to boost production efficiency, reduce dependence on manual labour, enhance workplace safety, and address workforce turnover challenges. To date, more than 10,000 JAKA cobots have been deployed across over 100 countries in industries ranging from automotive and semiconductors to new energy and food processing.
Ng revealed that OXB is currently working with JAKA Robotics on a project with a U.S.-based multinational contract manufacturer operating in Penang. The initiative aims to automate assembly processes by cutting down manual operators and improving process consistency. “This marks the first phase of a larger initiative, with more phases in the pipeline. Given the rising cost pressures, we expect strong growth potential for our automation and robotics division,” he added.
Beyond automation, the Group is also pursuing opportunities in its precision engineering and mechanical assembly solutions segments. “We are in discussions with existing customers on several large-scale projects and expect the coming financial year to be very active. We remain confident in our long-term prospects,” Ng concluded.
