K-One Technology Berhad (K-One), founded in 2001 and listed on Bursa Malaysia in 2006 is an electronics product design, development and manufacturing enterprise. Its core business is attributed to the OEM and ODM of high-tech products which includes IoT gadgets, consumer electronic lifestyle products, medical/healthcare devices, surveillance cameras, computer peripherals, mobile phone accessories, automotive aggregates and industrial products. Research, design and manufacturing are its driving engines, but knowledge, technology and innovation differentiate its business.
MIDA has supported K-One since its humble beginnings and has always facilitated its business processes, be it the granting of manufacturing license, pioneer status and sales leads to spur sustainable growth. Since inception, K-One’s business has grown to an impressive track record of multinational clients from Europe, US, Australia and Asia.
Although K-One is primarily export oriented (> 90% every year), its key infrastructures, R&D hub, plants and talent pool reside within Malaysia. Keeping the key business operation within Malaysia was a natural decision as the Malaysian government has carved pathways which are investment conducive in promoting business growth for K-One and its associates.
Malaysia’s strategic location, cost-effective operations, stable social and political environment and world-class infrastructure have certainly proven to be the perfect breeding ground for K-One to continue its investment trail in Malaysia while tapping into an ever-growing global market. K-One has also taken advantage of gazetted Free Trade Zones which are export friendly through its recent acquisition of a two-acre land in Ipoh to accommodate its future operational and manufacturing expansions.
Over the years, K-One has received multiple accolades and accreditation of its successes by the relevant authorities. Not one to rest on its laurels, K-One continues to evolve and look forward to embrace the new wave of Industry 4.0 and other emerging technologies with relentless support and encouragement from MIDA, other government bodies and strategic business partners.
