^{MIDA AND DUNHAM-BUSH DRIVE MALAYSIA’S DATA CENTRE VALUE CHAIN WITH SUSTAINABLE COOLING SOLUTIONS}



KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- Dunham-Bush Industries Sdn. Bhd., one of Malaysia’s most established heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) manufacturers, hosted a data centre seminar today in partnership with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), its Strategic Investment Ecosystem Partner.

The seminar, themed “Keep Your DC Cool”, drew more than 60 key stakeholders from across the data centre ecosystem and government agencies to Dunham-Bush’s manufacturing facility. Discussions centred on the critical role of precision cooling in sustaining uptime, resilience and energy-efficiency, reaffirming Malaysia’s position as a hub for advanced, sustainable climate solutions for mission-critical infrastructure.

“From 2021 until June 2025, MIDA has approved RM144.4 billion worth of investments in data centre and cloud projects”, said Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, CEO of MIDA. “These projects are creating strong linkages across Malaysia’s value chain, with AI-driven data centres generating up to four times downstream impact for local suppliers, service providers, and talent. By strengthening resilience and competitiveness, we are laying the foundation for Malaysia to be a regional leader in the global data economy. Companies like Dunham-Bush demonstrate how local champions can scale globally while contributing to national priorities.”

Mr. Yu Baoshuang, Managing Director of Dunham-Bush Malaysia, added, “We are proud to host this event and open our doors to showcase our capabilities to the industry. Cooling is not just a support system – it is at the heart of data centre operations. At Dunham-Bush, we are committed to delivering precision cooling and energy-efficient climate solutions that meet the growing needs of the data centre industries. This demand has enabled us to expand our local manufacturing, invest in new technologies, and create skilled opportunities for Malaysians. Together with partners like MIDA, we are building a stronger future for Malaysia as a regional hub for data centres."

This event follows MIDA’s Data Centre Nexus initiative launched in May 2025, signalling sustained governmental commitment to the sector. As artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing drive exponential growth in data processing, the physical infrastructure supporting these digital ambitions becomes increasingly critical.

The seminar reinforced the importance of strong collaboration between government and industry in advancing Malaysia’s competitiveness in the regional and global data centre landscape. With Dunham-Bush’s innovation and MIDA’s facilitation, Malaysia is strengthening supply chain resilience, attracting high-value investments, and building a future-ready economy, competitive, inclusive, and sustainable.
