80,000–120,000 sqft search range
Compare large factories by usable production layout—not total built-up area alone. Screen single-level and multi-level options around power, floor loading, clear height, containers and launch timing.
Size is the first filter
Building form, usable ground-floor area, structural capacity, utilities and location can matter more than a small difference in total square footage.
Often simpler for long lines, heavy machinery, forklifts and direct movement between production, warehouse and loading.
May provide more total space, but floor loading, goods lifts, vibration and material movement must fit the process.
Check spare land, neighbouring units, additional power, yard pressure and whether the lease supports future investment.
Usable-area test
Request floor plans and test the actual operating zones before treating the headline size as usable capacity.
Current screening references
These figures are practical reference points, not a guarantee of current availability. Reconfirm every specification, condition and commercial term before travel or commitment.
Relevant when a detached layout, western Johor location and substantial floor area fit the production and logistics plan.
Review the SILC factory→Review the actual property photos and stated specifications. A separate power-upgrade reference explains previous 3,000A and 4,000A scenarios.
Review the I-Tech Valley factory→Large external area, 40-foot container access and CCC available; the level-by-level production plan remains critical.
Review the Pasir Gudang factory→Shortlisting logic
Use the same operating brief across every property so the comparison remains technical and commercial, not visual.
Production, warehouse, people, equipment, utilities, logistics and expansion.
Use approximately 80,000–120,000 sqft when the process allows reasonable flexibility.
Reconfirm availability, plans, power, loading, height, access, condition and terms.
Include modifications, utility work, approvals, rent, delay and time to production.
Large factory FAQ
Headline size is not a substitute for plans, technical verification and a production-fit assessment.
It depends on production-line length, column grid, utilities, warehouse ratio, offices, loading, circulation and expansion. Net usable production area can differ substantially from total built-up area.
Yes, when the layout has some flexibility. A wider search range can reveal a better operational fit, but required production, warehouse and support areas should be defined first.
No. Floor loading, goods lifts, vertical material movement, vibration, production sequence and fire egress can make the usable operating capacity very different.
It varies by property. The examples above include existing supplies around 1,000A to 1,200A and one property-specific pathway evaluated for 3,000A or 4,000A. Every capacity and upgrade must be verified.
