Malaysian engineering group [iCents](https://www.icentsgroup.com/?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com) has won a firm RM21.05 million contract for the first stage of a semiconductor wafer-processing facility in Selangor, Malaysia. Its subsidiary VC Engineering accepted the letter of award on 12 October from the Malaysian arm of an unnamed United States-based company.

The [Bursa Malaysia announcement](https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market%5Finformation/announcements/company%5Fannouncement/announcement%5Fdetails?ann%5Fid=3714148&ref=southeastasiaconnect.com) says the awarded work covers engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning. Completion of this first stage is estimated at 18 weeks. A further RM15.10 million of work is outlined in the letter but needs a separate written award. That makes RM36.15 million the potential value of both stages, while RM21.05 million is the amount firmly awarded. All figures exclude sales and service tax.

## Experience in semiconductor cleanrooms

VC Engineering has worked on semiconductor manufacturing spaces before. Its [2025 prospectus](https://www.insage.com.my/Upload/Docs/ICENTS/iCents%20-%20Prospectus.pdf?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com) describes a Penang project completed in 2017 that included a controlled cleanroom manufacturing area, civil work and ventilation installation. It separately describes a Penang cleanroom upgrade completed in 2022, involving air filtration and building systems, and another project to connect manufacturing equipment in those rooms. These are examples of earlier work; they do not state the design of the new Selangor facility.

The same prospectus records another semiconductor cleanroom contract secured in 2022 at Kulim, Kedah. VC Engineering was engaged through a project-management company to construct about 41,000 square metres of cleanroom space, the group's largest cleanroom job by area at the prospectus cut-off. The prospectus said that work was still under way at the time. This gives a concrete measure of its earlier facility experience in Malaysia, separate from the newly awarded Selangor site.

For Malaysia's specialist facility contractors and suppliers, the accepted first stage is a defined near-term work programme at a wafer-processing site. iCents expects the project to contribute positively to group net assets and earnings per share from the financial year ending June 2027 through completion.
