Proposed mixed-use industrial development to support regional transformation within the
Integrated Development Region in South Selangor (IDRISS)
Petaling Jaya, 28 April 2026 – SD Guthrie Berhad (Guthrie) and Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporation) (MBI Selangor) are exploring a strategic partnership for a large-scale mixed-use industrial development in Sepang Estate, Selangor, adjacent to the KLIA Aeropolis. Provisionally known as Sepang Industrial Park, the proposed 2,500-acre development is envisioned as an integrated industrial park supported by commercial and complementary residential components. Positioned within a broader state-led development corridor, the project is expected to drive long-term economic growth and emerge as a key investment destination, in line with the objectives of Rancangan Selangor Pertama (RS-1).
Located within the Integrated Development Region in South Selangor (IDRISS), the area is part of the Sepang Infinity Corridor Hub under the Sepang Local Plan 2035. Combined, these frameworks are the foundation for a strategic growth corridor in this high-potential region to attract high-value investments and strengthen Selangor’s logistics and industrial ecosystem.
The development is envisioned as an integrated industrial park supported by commercial and complementary residential components, creating a balanced and sustainable live-work ecosystem. It will accommodate a range of industrial activities, including manufacturing, logistics and value-added services, supported by business facilities, training centres and community amenities. The project is expected to further strengthen Selangor’s position as a key hub for industry and investment.
At the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the parties, YAB Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari, Menteri Besar of Selangor, said the cooperation reflects the state’s commitment to developing a strategically planned mixed-use township and industrial park that supports long-term economic growth.
“By leveraging institutional capability and industry expertise, this is expected to deliver integrated aerospace capabilities supported by sustainable and smart infrastructure. The project is designed to support high-value industries, including aerospace and logistics, as part of a broader and diversified economic ecosystem. It will also complement Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s next phase of growth, strengthen Selangor’s attractiveness to global investors, and is projected to create more than 32,000 job opportunities by 2030,” he said.
Tan Sri Dr Nik Norzrul Thani Nik Hassan Thani, Guthrie’s Chairman, said the initiative reflects the Group’s continued commitment to support high impact developments for Selangor and the nation. It marks the second initiative between Guthrie and MBI Selangor, building on a strong and trusted working relationship, following the earlier integrated development project in Carey Island, Selangor.
“We are aiming to create long-term value through strategic land development and industrial clustering to support Selangor’s economic transformation. Strategic land stewardship can enhance economic values, environmental integrity and social balance, while creating lasting impact for the state and its stakeholders and enhance investor confidence,” he said.
MBI Selangor Group Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Ts. Saipolyazan M. Yusop said the MoU underscores MBI Selangor’s continued commitment to advancing strategic developments that support Selangor’s long-term growth priorities.
“As the State’s investment arm, MBI Selangor plays a catalytic role in translating Selangor’s economic ambitions into tangible, high-impact developments. This industrial development is envisioned as a strategic growth node within IDRISS, strengthening the state’s aviation and industrial ecosystem while capitalising on its proximity to KLIA and established infrastructure.
Through this project with SD Guthrie, we are not only unlocking the full potential of this area but also shaping a future-ready industrial cluster that can attract high-value investments, deepen industry capabilities and generate quality employment opportunities. This initiative reflects our continued focus on building a competitive, resilient and sustainable economic landscape that delivers long-term value for Selangor and its people,” he said.
