DXN Holdings Bhd., a global wellness company, has commenced construction on Malaysia’s largest nutraceutical manufacturing facility in Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah. The RM140m investment aims to strengthen Malaysia’s position as a key player in DXN’s global manufacturing network and support the company’s long-term growth.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by the Chief Minister of Kedah, who praised the investment for creating quality employment and enhancing Kedah’s industrial standing. The new facility, spanning 300,000 square feet on a 26.6-acre site, will feature seven production blocks, ten warehouses, and a dedicated research and development centre. Production is set to begin in March 2028, initially focusing on coffee, food and beverage, and juice categories, with plans to expand into cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
This investment comes as DXN experiences sustained growth, with a compounded annual growth rate of 15.4% over the past three years. The facility is designed to enhance capacity, flexibility, and operational resilience, ensuring DXN remains ahead of future demand. Datuk Lim Siow Jin, Executive Chairman and Founder of DXN, highlighted the facility’s role in supporting the company’s global expansion and its ability to meet growing market demands.
The Bukit Kayu Hitam facility is part of DXN’s strategy to establish 21 factories across four continents by 2028, reinforcing Malaysia’s role as the heart of its global production ecosystem. The investment will be financed through external funding, supported by DXN’s strong financial position.
