KUALA LUMPUR: APM Automotive Holdings Bhd has received the nod from Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) to set up a plant to manufacture and market car parts and modules in the 12ha industrial area of Bago Region under the name of APM Auto Components Myanmar Co Ltd.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, APM Automotive said the proposal was submitted by its units in Myanmar and Labuan APM Automotive Myanmar Ltd and APM Automotive Indochina Ltd.
It said the initial outlay for the construction, purchase of machineries and equipment for the first three years was estimated at US$9mil and will be funded internally and from external borrowings.
