SELANGOR: Chery Corporate Malaysia Sdn Bhd has marked a key milestone with the topping-out ceremony of Phase 1 of the Chery Smart Auto Industrial Park in Lembah Beringin.
This milestone signifies the structural completion of Chery’s assembly plant which is set to be its largest facility in Malaysia.
The ceremony was attended by Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari and state executive councillor for investment, trade and mobility Ng Sze Han who witnessed the symbolic placement of the final roof tile alongside Chery’s management team.
Spanning 200 acres, the Chery Smart Auto Industrial Park represents an investment of RM2.2bil and is expected to play a pivotal role in supporting Chery’s growing presence in Malaysia and across Asean.
Chery’s multi-brand portfolio in Malaysia, including Chery, Omoda Jaecoo, iCaur, and the upcoming Lepas brand, continues to gain momentum.
Once completed, the facility will enhance Chery’s capabilities in assembly, innovation and customer delivery.
Amirudin said, “This new chapter for Lembah Beringin, with Chery Malaysia as one of its anchors, can spur the town forward by rapidly developing new supply chains, reducing business operation and travel times, and ultimately creating better-quality jobs for Selangorians.”
Located along Selangor’s automotive corridor, construction of the plant, began shortly after its groundbreaking in 2025.
Ng said the state government plans to develop a dedicated automotive valley across Serendah and Lembah Beringin, anchored by Chery’s investment.
He said the state’s ambition was to have a complete automotive city.
“It is where carmakers, component suppliers, research, and training sit side by side, and where the supply chain is built and kept here in Selangor. Chery's arrival is the first major step towards that vision,” added Ng.
Following the structural completion, the Chery Smart Auto Industrial Park (Phase 1) will progress to interior works, system installations and operational readiness.
The facility remains on track for completion, with operations expected to commence next year.
“Today’s topping-out ceremony marks an important milestone for Chery in Malaysia. It reflects not only the progress of this project, but also our strong confidence in the Malaysian market
and its potential as a regional hub,” said Chery Corporate Malaysia senior director, product strategy and fleet sales Michael Chew.
