Reflecting on the company’s journey, Witold Nowak, Director of MGM, shared: “From our humble beginnings in a small shop lot in 2009, to our first proper factory in 2013, and now to this cutting-edge facility, our journey is a source of immense pride. But beyond the buildings and machines, it is our people who define us. We have consistently invested in our workforce through development programs that not only build skills but also empower individuals with responsibility and trust. Many of our employees have been with us for over a decade—clear evidence of our long-term commitment and reputation as an employer of choice.”

Investing in Malaysia, Investing in People

“We do not just offer jobs—we build futures,” said Timo Mosca. “We continuously upskill our employees, regularly sending many of them to our headquarters in Germany for advanced training. We equip them with the same tools, opportunities, and trust as we do anywhere in the world. We are not merely a foreign investor—we are an integral part of the Johor community”, adds Witold Nowak. 

Mosca’s commitment to long-term, inclusive growth is reflected in its partnership with local educational institutions to develop technical and vocational programmes. These initiatives aim to build a sustainable talent pipeline, with a special focus on empowering underprivileged youth in Johor—ensuring that industry progress is shared with the wider community. 

With the launch of its new facility, MGM reinforces its corporate ethos: Non-Stop Performance, Non-Stop Responsibility, and Non-Stop Progress. MGM is not just delivering precision packaging solutions; it is engineering a future built on purpose, excellence, and unstoppable momentum.
