About Us
A Trusted
Manufacturing Stalwart
Engtek is deeply rooted in rich history and heritage. From our humble beginnings as a small workshop in 1974, founded by the late Dato’ Teh Ah Ba, we have evolved into a prominent manufacturer of precision engineering components in international markets.
With a primary focus on precision engineering, we have excelled in manufacturing high-precision components catering specifically to the dynamic and demanding needs of high-tech industries. Our unwavering dedication and extensive industry insights have fueled consistent growth, building an extensive clientele that includes local and multinational companies spanning across cutting-edge sectors.
“With precision as our foundation and perfection as our goal, we aim to inspire CONFIDENCE, TRUST, and ADMIRATION in the industries we serve.”
Die casting
We produce cast aluminum components from raw aluminum ingots through the use of molds, called dies.
Precision machining
We produce precision engineering components from cast and/or solid metal components (e.g., aluminum, copper, steel, and zinc) through a technical and detail-oriented process called precision machining, which uses a variety of techniques and equipment to achieve precise cuts, shapes, and sizes according to the detailed specifications of our customers.
Our manufacturing capabilities are further supported by engineering services we offer as value-added services to our customers during the product qualification stage, whereby we participate in designing manufacturing processes for the components we manufacture in ways that complement the overall manufacturing processes of our customers’ end products.
Our Purpose
Elevating Human Potential
We at Engtek are committed to nurturing the growth of individuals, both within our organisation and in the communities where we operate. We foster a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages personal and professional growth, providing continuous learning opportunities, skill development programs, and community engagement initiatives to empower individuals and unlock their full potential. Through these efforts, we strive to empower individuals and create a positive ripple effect that drives collective growth and success.
(i) High-mix Low Volume (“HMLV”) manufacturing
The process of producing a high variety of products in small quantities. This production method is commonly used to manufacture unique and more complex products with specific quality requirements.
(ii) Low-mix High Volume (“LMHV”) manufacturing
The process of producing a low variety of products in large quantities. This production method is commonly used to manufacture general parts and consumables that are more frequently used and/or have a high replacement rate.

Our History
Dato’ Teh Ah Ba
In 1974, in the idyllic Penang town of Air Itam, a Chinese physician who loved to tinker with his toolbox came up with a brilliant idea. The late Dato’ Teh Ah Ba, who admired mechanical inventions and machinery, founded Eng Hardware Electrical behind his clinic, producing jigs and fixtures. Today, that workshop has grown into Malaysia’s leading homegrown manufacturer of precision engineering components – the EngTek Group.
The late Dato’ Teh was born in Sungai Dua, Penang, to immigrant parents from Shantou, China. His education was interrupted by the war and the Japanese occupation of Malaya. At the age of 14, he was sent to China for a six-year traditional medicine program. The late Dato’ Teh completed his training and practiced medicine in Wuhan, and subsequently obtained a license to practice traditional Chinese medicine in 1963 after returning home from Wuhan.
We attribute our success not only to our technology, but also to the talent of our engineers and technicians who are continuously exploring new ways to improve our processes and products.
Despite being trained as a physician, our founder had a passion for mechanical engineering. He convinced the foundry boss to hire him as an apprentice without a salary. He worked there every night after it closed. Nearly 50 years ago, he started the Eng Hardware Electrical Workshop as a continuation of his hobby. A hallmark of his character is tenacity, patience, perseverance, and a tough work ethic. This focuses on the essentials of his success.
In spite of EngTek Group’s rapid expansion, the business has remained a family business run by the late Dato’ Teh’s family, led by Dato’ Teh Yong Khoon (YK Teh), the youngest son of the late founder, who serves as Executive Chairman and CEO. YK Teh’s upbringing under his father’s tutelage has prepared him to lead the group in a direction that would make his father proud.
The First Factory
Our innovative manufacturing process, which incorporates automation and robotics, has revolutionised the way we approach manufacturing. It has enabled us to be less human-dependent and produce products with a high level of consistency.
