What Industrial System Engineering and Products does

ISEP (Industrial System Engineering and Products) is a Malaysian-headquartered engineering firm founded in 2008 that designs, fabricates, and certifies explosion-proof (Ex) electrical equipment and systems for hazardous-area environments. Its core technology spans multiple IEC 60079 protection methods — Ex d flameproof enclosures, Ex pzc/pxb/pyb pressurized enclosures, Ex eb and Ex ec increased-safety enclosures — applied to control panels, junction boxes, control stations, limit switches, pendant stations, operator displays (Pageant BA3101/BA3102), cable glands, terminal blocks, and relay modules. The company holds IECEx Quality Assessment, ATEX, DNV, and PRESAFE certifications, plus ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001, providing a regulatory posture that allows it to supply certified equipment and assembled ICSS/SIS/FGS cabinets into Zone 0/1/2 hazardous areas.

ISEP operates through five wholly-owned subsidiaries across Malaysia (Bandar Baru Bangi HQ, Miri, Johor Bahru, Setia Alam), Singapore, and Thailand, executing a B2B enterprise sales motion directly with oil & gas operators and engineering contractors. Revenue is generated from three streams: (1) hardware sales of certified Ex equipment, (2) professional services spanning consultation, design, equipment selection, erection, testing, commissioning, and training, and (3) custom system integration projects such as ICSS, SIS, and FGS cabinets. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no public list pricing. The customer base includes Petronas, Shell Malaysia, Petrobras, ExxonMobil, SATORP, and repeat-engagement EPCs/system integrators (Yokogawa, Honeywell, Toyo Engineering, Jurong Engineering), with project references spanning Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Brazil. The company is privately held, led by Managing Director Robert Lee, and received the Golden Bull 2025 Outstanding Bull Award.
