KUALA LUMPUR: Matrix Concepts has bought a 164-acre land in Seremban for RM71.5mil, in aims to extend its existing 1,000-acre Sendayan TechValley (STV) industrial park, also in Seremban.

The new land, called Sendayan TechPark, will enlarge the group’s industrial land bank to 1,164 acres in total.

Chairman Mohamad Haslah Mohamad Amin said the existing two phases of STV have been very well-received with more than 760 acres sold to date, mainly to leading high-technology manufacturing companies worldwide.

“We are proud that STV has attracted more than RM3.8bil in foreign direct investment since 2013,” it said.
