Seagate International (Johor) Sdn. Bhd. is a Malaysian subsidiary of Seagate Technology Holdings plc, operating a specialised manufacturing facility at, Taman Teknologi Johor, 81400 Senai, Johor, Malaysia. Seagate’s fiscal 2026 corporate disclosure identifies the Johor company as a wholly owned Malaysian subsidiary, with its principal business activity stated as the manufacture of substrates.

The Senai operation is specifically associated with substrate manufacturing within Seagate’s wider data-storage manufacturing network.

Substrates form part of the manufacturing process for magnetic data-storage media and provide the base material on which subsequent functional layers are formed.

In this context, the Johor operation represents a specialised electronic-component manufacturing activity within the upstream stage of the data-storage production chain. Seagate’s corporate documentation for the Johor site also identifies the facility’s activity specifically as “Substrate Manufacturing.”

From an industry perspective, Seagate International (Johor) Sdn. Bhd. is associated with the Electrical and Electronics (E&E), electronic-component and data-storage manufacturing sectors. Its operations are also connected to the wider information-technology and digital-storage supply chain through the manufacture of substrates for data-storage devices.

The Johor facility should therefore be distinguished from other Seagate operations involved in the manufacture of finished storage products and other activities undertaken at different locations.

Through its manufacturing operation in Taman Teknologi Johor, Senai, Seagate International (Johor) Sdn. Bhd. forms part of the manufacturing base supporting data-storage technologies in Johor.

The company’s documented activities remain centred on substrate manufacturing for data-storage devices, reflecting its specific role as an electronic-component manufacturer within Seagate Technology’s wider manufacturing network.

The first meeting of the Johor-Singapore Cooperation Ministerial Committee (JSCMC) will be held in Singapore on Nov 2.

This comes ahead of the official launch of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) master plan at the 13th Malaysia-Singapore Leaders’ Retreat on Dec 4 and 5.

Economy Minister Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir said the matter was discussed during a meeting with Singapore Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong at his office here Thursday.

“Our discussion was held in a very positive atmosphere, focusing on efforts to further strengthen Malaysia-Singapore economic cooperation. The key topics were the smooth implementation of the JS-SEZ and the cross-border carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiative,” he said in a post on his official page.

Akmal Nasrullah said the JS-SEZ has significant potential, with more than S$5.5 billion (RM17.97 billion) in investment commitments from Singapore-based companies recorded as of October 2025.

“Now, our focus is on the next phase of implementation. As the ministry responsible for the JS-SEZ initiative, our aim is to ensure its benefits are felt by the people of Johor and Malaysians as a whole,” he added.

On CCS, he said both countries aim to conclude a bilateral agreement in the fourth quarter of this year, marking a strategic step towards developing a regional green value chain. “The close cooperation we have built is not merely about investment figures on paper. Ultimately, the goal is to translate this relationship into quality job opportunities, skills development and sustainable economic growth for the benefit of the people,” he added.

The minister also expressed his appreciation to Gan and the Singapore delegation for the productive discussions.

Gan was on a one-day working visit to Malaysia to strengthen economic ties and supply chain resilience between the two countries. During the visit, he met Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani and attended a business luncheon with the Malaysia-Singapore Business Council in Kuala Lumpur.

He also co-chaired the Third Annual Ministerial Dialogue (AMD) between Miti and Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry, besides meeting Akmal Nasrullah in Putrajaya. Gan and his delegation departed for Singapore at 6.35pm.

Malaysia and Singapore are exploring ways to attract third-country investors to the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), further strengthening the zone as a regional investment and export hub.

Singapore Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong said the cooperation would extend beyond Johor and Singapore to include efforts to attract investors from other countries and facilitate exports to other markets.

“This is a very important bilateral cooperation between our two countries, as well as between Johor and Singapore. Indeed, we are looking for additional ways to enhance Johor-Singapore cooperation.

“Hopefully, more details will be announced in time to come on how we can further support one another in the years ahead,” he said in his keynote speech during a business luncheon with the Malaysia-Singapore Business Council on his one-day working visit here on Thursday.

Gan, who is also the minister for trade and industry, said Singapore, which will assume the Asean chairmanship next year, hopes to execute a series of projects following the implementation of the Asean Digital Economy Framework Agreement.

He said the agreement would pave the way for greater digital cooperation among Asean member states.

“At the last Asean meeting in Manila, we also concluded with the cross-examination of the digital economy agreement.

“This is something that I know all businesses are asking about, and we are eager to have this finally signed this year and come into effect by next year,” he said.

Meanwhile, Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani noted that Singaporean firms have pledged more than S$5.5 billion (RM17.6 billion) to the JS-SEZ, generating thousands of high-value jobs.

He said the investments include advanced manufacturing, data centres, energy technology and solar energy, adding that the JS-SEZ has progressed from a strategic concept into an active private economy hub.

Invest Johor and IMFC-J had the pleasure of welcoming a delegation of investors from China for an engaging session to learn more about the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) and the investment opportunities available in Johor.

The session provided an overview of the JS-SEZ, highlighting its strategic location, connectivity, business-friendly ecosystem and the advantages it offers to businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in the region.

The engagement also provided an opportunity for meaningful discussions and knowledge exchange on Johor’s investment landscape, key sectors and areas of potential collaboration, particularly in supporting businesses seeking to expand their presence across the region.

Positioned at the heart of ASEAN and in close proximity to Singapore, Johor offers a strategic gateway for businesses from China to access regional and global markets through Malaysia. The continued development of the JS-SEZ further strengthens Johor’s role in facilitating greater investment and economic linkages between Malaysia and China.

We look forward to strengthening these connections as we continue to position Johor as a competitive and strategic investment destination.
