HP Malaysia Manufacturing (HPMM), a key player within HP’s global supply chain, continues to spearhead advancements in manufacturing. With a steadfast commitment to innovation and sustainability, HPMM is transforming its operations to meet the evolving demands of the 21st century.
The recent inauguration of the HP Malaysia Manufacturing Transformation Centre in Batu Kawan, Penang marks a significant milestone in HPMM’s journey in Malaysia. This state-of-the-art facility serves as a hub for research and development in cutting-edge technologies such as robotics, automation, Industrial IoT, and AI.
By embracing the principles of Industry 4.0, HPMM aims to enhance productivity, improve quality, and optimise its manufacturing processes. The centre will leverage these advanced technologies to streamline operations, reduce waste, and gain valuable insights into real-time data, ultimately leading to greater efficiency and agility in the manufacturing environment.
“The Transformation Centre is a testament to our commitment to driving manufacturing excellence,” said Alex Tan, managing director of HP Inc. Malaysia. “By investing in these cutting-edge technologies, we are not only improving our own operations but also contributing to the advancement of Malaysia’s manufacturing sector.”
Recognising the paramount importance of a highly skilled workforce, HP has launched the HP SPARK Programme in collaboration with the Malaysian government and educational institutions.
This initiative focuses on developing critical skills in areas such as robotics, data analytics, and sustainable manufacturing practices, ensuring that HPMM’s workforce is well-equipped for the future of advanced manufacturing.
The programme provides opportunities for employees to enhance their skillsets through training courses, workshops, and mentorship programmes, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development within the organisation.
“The HP SPARK Programme is crucial for developing a skilled workforce for the future,” said Alex Tan. “By investing in our people, we are not only building a strong foundation for HPMM’s success but also contributing to the growth of Malaysia’s technology ecosystem.”
Sustainability at the Core
Sustainability is deeply ingrained within HPMM’s operations. Through initiatives such as the installation of a solar photovoltaic array and the establishment of a Zero Waste Operations Team, HPMM is actively reducing its environmental impact.
These efforts align with HP’s Global Sustainability Goals and contribute to Malaysia’s commitment to environmental stewardship. The company is dedicated to minimising its carbon footprint and promoting a circular economy by embracing sustainable practices throughout its operations.
HPMM plays a crucial role within HP’s global manufacturing ecosystem, supplying inkjet cartridges to 175 countries worldwide. Recognised as one of the world’s largest manufacturers of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), HPMM exemplifies HP’s commitment to innovation and excellence in manufacturing.
As HPMM continues to embrace advanced technologies and prioritise sustainability, it remains poised to be a leader in the global manufacturing industry. By fostering a culture of innovation and nurturing a highly skilled workforce, HPMM will continue to contribute to Malaysia’s economic growth and drive sustainable development.
