SEPANG, Selangor, Oct 2 (Bernama) -- Gigafactory Malaysia Sdn Bhd (GMSB), a wholly owned subsidiary of NMB (NanoMalaysia Berhad), an implementing agency under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification for the Provision of Battery Production, becoming the first company within the NMB Group to attain the internationally recognised quality management standard.
This achievement marks an important milestone in GMSB's progression from technology development and industrialisation to structured commercial manufacturing, providing an internationally recognised quality management framework covering process consistency, quality assurance, continuous improvement, and customer requirements.
The certification covers GMSB's battery production operations at its Suria Industrial Park facility in Sepang and is valid from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2029. GMSB operates a 15,000 sq ft battery manufacturing facility with an initial annual production capacity of approximately 1 MWh, equivalent to around 92,000 cells per year. The facility was established as a platform to translate Malaysian-developed battery technologies and intellectual property into commercially manufacturable products while supporting production validation, customer qualification and future scale-up.
GMSB's current activities include producing and industrialising locally developed graphene-enhanced lithium-ion battery technology, supporting NMB's wider efforts to strengthen Malaysia's capabilities in advanced materials, battery technology and energy storage.
NMB Chief Executive Officer, Prof. (Adj.) Dr Rezal Khairi Ahmad, said: “Achieving ISO 9001:2015 is an important step in GMSB's journey towards establishing a robust and commercially sustainable battery manufacturing capability. As we move Malaysian-developed technologies from research and development into production, internationally recognised quality management practices are essential to ensuring consistency, traceability and confidence among our customers and partners. This achievement also demonstrates that homegrown Malaysian technologies can progress beyond the laboratory and be industrialised through disciplined manufacturing processes that meet internationally recognised standards.”
Nearly 100 per cent of GMSB's workforce is Malaysian, with women representing more than 70 per cent of its team, while its battery research, development and manufacturing activities are led by Ts. Dr. Nurul Akmaliah Dzulkurnain. The certification strengthens GMSB's foundation as it continues to develop Malaysia's domestic battery manufacturing ecosystem and contribute towards greater technological capability, energy resilience and participation in the growing clean-energy value chain.
