Hong Leong Asia (HLA) recently hosted a group of visiting delegates from Saudi Arabia as part of their visit to meet with built environment companies in Singapore.

The delegation of industry participants, led by the National Development Division at Public Investment Fund, visited HL-Sunway Prefab Hub, the latest state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Singapore, and was able to see first-hand the integration of precast concrete automation technologies with green features which will not only improve the supply chain resiliency of construction projects but also enhance the quality of precast components.

During the visit, Mr Patrick Yau, HLA Chief Investment Officer, Mr Simon Loh, Chief Operating Officer of HLA’s Building Materials Group and the R3 Precast team, met with representatives from Saudi Arabia companies, Red Sea Global, Qiddiya, Rua Al Madinah, Diriyah, Roshn Development, NEOM and New Murabba, to discuss automated precast manufacturing techniques with a presentation to the delegation members.  

Initiated by Enterprise SG, the Saudi Arabian delegation’s visit presents an opportunity to showcase the capabilities of Hong Leong Asia’s portfolio of industry-leading businesses in the build environment industry as well as contribute to and exchange with value-chain players in developing industry expertise towards integrating greener practices and optimising productivity and efficiency in the region and beyond.
