YBS International

What YBS International does

YBS International Berhad is a Malaysia-headquartered precision manufacturing group listed on the Bursa Malaysia ACE Market (ticker YBS-0025) under the Industrial Products & Services sector. Founded in 2002 (formerly LNG Resources Berhad) and operating through wholly-owned subsidiaries, the group provides end-to-end manufacturing services spanning design, tool and die fabrication, plastic injection moulding, precision machining and stamping, and electronic manufacturing services (EMS). Products and services target high-tolerance applications in semiconductor, electrical and electronics, computer/peripherals, telecommunications, automotive, medical, and connector markets, with additional exposure to aerospace components and commercial/industrial battery energy storage. The group operates five business lines: Precision Engineering and Plastic Injection Moulding, Precision Machining and Stamping, EMS, Renewable Energy (BESS and C&I energy storage systems), and Paper Products (BESSboard honeycomb packaging).

The group's underlying capabilities include CNC machining, EDM, CNC profile grinding, injection/insert/over-moulding, SMT assembly in cleanroom environments using Yamaha and Panasonic mounters, wave and manual soldering, X-ray inspection, BGA rework, and robotic automation (ABB and CRP NYNHAN systems). Manufacturing is conducted through plants in Penang (Simpang Ampat HQ, Bukit Mertajam, Perai), Johor (Muar), and Melaka, plus a Vietnam facility in Binh Duong, with sales and marketing support from a Singapore office via Edaran Resources Pte. Ltd. Operating facilities hold ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, and the Vietnam operation documented a 100% CO2e intensity reduction in 2024 versus a 2016 baseline. A documented 1,420+ workforce is led by Managing Director and CEO Jackie Yong.

YBS generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales of custom precision components and assemblies, with professional services revenue from EMS assembly and related engineering work. Pricing is quote-based for custom specifications and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting MNC customers across Southeast Asia, supported by 15-year customer relationships, factory visits, and regular on-site engagement. In January 2026, YBS completed a US$38 million (RM167.2 million) acquisition of Allied Technologies' group of companies, financed through cash, share issuance, and dollar-denominated Islamic financing from Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Bhd, positioning the combined group to roughly triple headcount toward 3,000 and quadruple capacity toward RM400 million over the next two to three years.
