MBSB Group unlocks Industry 4.0 for SMEs with affordable financing on high-precision toolroom solutions

MBSB Group is making it easier for Malaysian SMEs to modernise their manufacturing capabilities through targeted financing support for precision engineering and smart manufacturing. The initiative was unveiled during the METALTECH & Precision Engineering Technologies Inauguration Ceremony held at MITEC, Kuala Lumpur recently.

Formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Precision Engineering Technologies, the collaboration provides a practical solution for SMEs looking to upgrade or establish toolrooms. Businesses can now access financing starting from RM1 million for the Tool Room Package, which was previously priced at RM1.5 million. This offering is structured without hidden bundling, giving SMEs a clearer and more manageable investment path into advanced manufacturing.

Financing is made available through both MBSB Bank and MIDF, providing manufacturers with flexible payment options and support designed to accelerate automation and digital adoption across the sector.

“This is not just another MoU — it’s real financing for real progress,” said Mohd Farid Shah Mohd Basir, Chief People Officer of MBSB. “With this partnership, we are making precision tools accessible to the SMEs that power Malaysia’s supply chains.”

The collaboration also brings together AMRACE as the official consulting partner and HPMT as the tooling partner, ensuring businesses receive hands-on technical guidance and access to high-quality components.

By lowering the capital barrier, MBSB Bank is enabling local manufacturers to fast-track their Industry 4.0 transformation, whether they are starting from the ground up or scaling existing operations.

This initiative forms part of MBSB’s wider commitment to providing purpose-driven financial products that are practical, timely, and built to meet the real needs of Malaysian businesses.
