KUALA LUMPUR (June 18): Sum Technology Bhd (KL:SUM) is seeing rising demand for data centres and high-technology factories that will drive earnings growth over the next two years.

An ongoing contract to build mission-critical facilities for a data centre project in Johor is slated for completion by August and the company is already in talks for two additional blocks of the upcoming phase, Sum Technology chief executive Lee Thiam Hing told reporters after a listing ceremony.

In the Philippines, Sum Technology is also negotiating for a data centre project, alongside the aviation-related hangar works, he said.

Sum Technology, which made its ACE Market debut on Thursday, builds cleanrooms and installations with controlled environments. The company also provides mechanical, electrical, process utilities and fire protection systems for mission-critical facilities.

The company is betting on growing investments into digital infrastructure and high-technology industries such as semiconductor, electrical and electronics, and data centres across Malaysia and Philippines.

“We are expecting a year-on-year growth of 30% to 50% for both our top line and also the bottom line at least for the next two years,” Sum Technology financial controller Lim Lik Chun told reporters at the same event on Thursday.

The company made a net profit of RM6.06 million in 2025 as revenue grew 28% to RM65.67 million. Malaysia accounted for 74% of its revenue, while the Philippines contributed a little over 20%. Sum Technology is also present in countries including Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, and India.

Sum Technology has an order book total of RM39.09 million as of April 22, according to its listing prospectus.
