FOMFEIA Strengthens Industry Collaboration with Nationwide Call to Support FOMFEIA-Connect Directory
Official Media Partner Communication 21 Media Group to Publish Industrial & Commercial Directory
Penang, Malaysia – 22 March 2025 – The Federation of Malaysian Foundry and Engineering Industries Associations (FOMFEIA) took a major step forward in strengthening industry-wide connectivity and visibility by officially calling on all its member associations and companies to participate in the upcoming FOMFEIA-Connect Industrial & Commercial Directory.
The announcement was made during the prestigious FOMFEIA Annual Gala Dinner 2025, held at Dewan Ng Yam Huat, Bukit Mertajam, where more than a thousand industry leaders, government representatives, and association members gathered in celebration. The evening was graced by YAB Tuan Chow Kon Yeow, Chief Minister of Penang, who officiated the event as Guest of Honour, alongside numerous VIPs and invited dignitaries from across Malaysia.
In his keynote address, Dato’ Richard Teh, President of FOMFEIA, reaffirmed the federation’s commitment to strengthening its members’ visibility and market access through FOMFEIA-Connect and encouraged all members to fully support and participate in the directory.
“FOMFEIA-Connect is not just another publication—it is a platform to showcase our industry’s strength, capabilities, and future potential. I urge all our members to take part and ensure we stand united as a national industrial force,” said Dato’ Richard Teh.
Communication 21 Media Group, appointed earlier as the Official Media Partner, will lead the development and publishing of the FOMFEIA-Connect Directory. The directory will be distributed in both print and digital formats, with integrated QR code access for wider reach and long-term connectivity.
This initiative is part of the broader Industry Connect: ASEAN-Connect Initiatives, a regional movement that also includes supplements such as Penang-Connect, Johor-Connect, Bumi-Connect, and SMF-Connect, designed to modernize how ASEAN’s industrial sectors connect, promote, and grow together.
“We are proud to collaborate with FOMFEIA in creating this important directory. FOMFEIA-Connect will be a strategic tool for both national and cross-border engagement,” said Dr. (h.c.) Benny Yeo, Founder of Communication 21 Media Group.
