What ZECON does

Zecon Berhad is a Sarawak-based, publicly listed (Bursa Malaysia, 1997) engineering, construction, and infrastructure group that has completed more than 40 major projects valued at approximately RM 4.5 billion since listing. Its core competencies span civil and infrastructure construction (highways, bridges, hospitals, water treatment), public-private partnership concessions, and, more recently, large-scale renewable energy and property development. Landmark projects include the 75km Pan Borneo Highway Phase 1 Work Package 3 (RM 1.35 billion, completed May 2023), the 23-building UNIMAS campus (RM 750 million), the 243-bed Hospital Pakar Kanak-Kanak (HPKK, RM 606 million), and the 12.5km TBM Triang water transfer tunnel in Negeri Sembilan. The company employs 101-250 staff across its Kuching headquarters and Kuala Lumpur regional office.

Zecon operates a diversified multi-revenue-stream business model: (i) project-based construction contracts awarded through competitive government tendering (RM 1 million to RM 1.35 billion range); (ii) long-duration concession-based managed services, including the 25.5-year Assets & Facility Management Services for HPKK (operational since 2021) and the 33-year toll concession for the Tun Salahuddin Bridge; (iii) subscription/recurring utility revenue via a 30-year Power Purchase Agreement with Syarikat SESCO Berhad for 100MWac of solar generation (commencing December 2027); (iv) property development with a gross development value of RM 3.2 billion over 15-20 years; and (v) a 54-room hotel adjacent to HPKK. Its primary customers are federal and state government ministries, statutory bodies, and state-owned utilities in Malaysia, with the Sarawak state government and SESCO as anchor counterparties.

The company's strategic center of gravity is the 3,000-acre Kota Petra Green Technology Park (KPGTP) in Kuching, approved as a Sarawak Economic Zone with a 30-year solar generation license permitting up to 300MWac of production. KPGTP is positioned as a managed industrial park for AI data centers, biotech, spacetech, greentech, smart manufacturing, and mintech industries, supported by tripartite MoUs with SDEC and CENTEXS. The group's renewable energy arm operates through Zecon Renewables Sdn Bhd and Zecon Renewables (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd, while Zecon Medicare Sdn Bhd (51% Zecon, 49% State Financial Secretary Sarawak) operates the HPKK hospital concession, and Zecon Properties Sdn Bhd handles property development. Recent leadership additions, including former Sarawak State Secretary Tan Sri Mohamad Morshidi as Independent Non-Executive Chairman (April 2026), reinforce the company's positioning as a Sarawak government-aligned infrastructure and energy concession platform.
