말레이시아 전력·물 엔지니어링 기업이 Malakoff사가 운영유지(O&M) 회사인 Teknik Janakuasa사의 확장을 검토하고 있다. 담수화를 포함, 주안점을 두어 국내 시장을 넘어서겠다는 목표이다.

Teknik의 부사장인 Rosli Abdul Hamid는 회사가 특히 중동, 동남아, 남아시아, 북아프리카에서의 기회를 얻기 위해 O&M 분야에서 만들어진 브랜드 네임을 사용하는 방안을 시도했다고 밝혔다.

그는 “우리는 사우디아라비아와 쿠웨이트 같은 지역에서 사업을 확장할 기회를 찾고 있다. 동남아에서 우리는 더 공격적으로 인도네시아에 우리의 서비스를 제공하는 것을 고려하고 있다. 인도와 방글라데시에서 바싹 추격되고 있는 한편, 필리핀에서의 활동 또한 논의 중이다”라고 말했다.

 

 

 

Malaysian power and water engineering firm, Malakoff Corporation, is looking to expand its operation and maintenance (O&M) arm, Teknik Janakuasa, beyond its home market with an emphasis that includes desalination.

 

Teknik's vice president, Rosli Abdul Hamid, said the company sought to use its established the brand name in the O&M field to win opportunities in the Middle East, South East Asia, South Asia and North Africa in particular.

 

"We are looking at expanding in places like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. In South East Asia, we are looking to offer our services in Indonesia more aggressively. There are discussions going on in Philippines while India and Bangladesh are being pursued more closely," he said.

 

Growth for the company will primarily come from abroad, Rosli explained, as opportunities domestically are limited to in-house business from the generation assets of Malakoff. Teknik's main O&M rival in Malaysia is the national power utility, Tenaga Nasional.

 

Teknik began its international foray in 2006 when it was awarded an O&M contract for the Shuaibah-Phase III power and water plant in Saudi Arabia comprising a 900 MW oil- fired power plant and a 880,000 m3/d multi-stage flash and reverse osmosis desalination plant. In 2007, together with Hyflux of Singapore, Teknik won an O&M contract for a 200,000 m3/day seawater desalination plant in Algeria. Rosli would not estimate the annual revenue of Teknik's overseas operations.

 

Rosli said the company is also focused on promoting its water technology and desalination segment in the Association of South East Asian Nations region especially in the oil and gas industry. He said desalination was new in the region.

 

Previously listed until 2007 when it went into private ownership, Malakoff is scheduled to return to being listed on Bursa Malaysia early next year.
