In short
Klose Industrial Service relocates production machinery and complete factories in Penang, Malaysia using its own in-house teams — no subcontractors. A typical move follows one plan: disconnect, rig, transport, re-install, and commission, all under a single project manager. Klose reports a zero loss-time-incident safety record and operates its own crane fleet, including Valla and JMG electric pick-and-carry cranes from 7.5 to 25 tonnes.
How does a factory relocation in Penang work?
As Penang is Malaysia's electronics and semiconductor powerhouse — the 'Silicon Valley of the East' — with one of Southeast Asia's densest concentrations of chip assembly, test, and precision manufacturing plants, manufacturers require reliable partners for complex industrial relocations. Klose Industrial Service provides end-to-end factory relocation services throughout Penang and the wider Malaysia region, covering every phase from initial planning and engineering studies through disconnection, rigging, transport, reinstallation, and commissioning support. Our certified millwrights and project managers execute all work in-house — no subcontractors — ensuring consistent German-quality standards on every project.
Can you move and precisely position heavy machines in Penang?
Whether relocating CNC machining centers, press lines, injection molding equipment, or entire automated production cells, our teams in Penang combine specialized rigging equipment with precision alignment technology. We handle mechanical and electrical disconnection and reconnection (M&E hook-down and hook-up), laser alignment, leveling, and full commissioning support. Our fleet includes pick-and-carry cranes, hydraulic gantry systems, and heavy-duty skidding equipment — all operated by our own trained personnel.
Do you handle cross-border and international relocations from Penang?
Penang's strategic position in Malaysia makes it an ideal base for cross-border industrial relocations across Europe and internationally. Klose Industrial Service manages the complete logistics chain — from dismantling and export packaging at origin to customs clearance, ocean or overland freight, and reinstallation at destination. We have completed factory transfers spanning continents, relocating hundreds of container loads of equipment with zero incidents and on-time delivery.

Turnkey vs. modular relocation: which to choose in Penang
| Turnkey (single partner) | Modular (multiple vendors) | |
|---|---|---|
| Accountability | One contract and one project manager end-to-end | Split across packers, hauliers, and riggers |
| Downtime | Minimised — every phase planned as one schedule | Gaps between vendors extend production downtime |
| Coordination | Klose coordinates every phase for you | You coordinate and chase multiple suppliers |
| Quality standard | One German-quality standard throughout | Varies from subcontractor to subcontractor |
| Risk at handover | Single point of responsibility for any damage | Disputed responsibility if equipment is damaged |
We move a customer's production line the way we'd want our own moved — one team, one plan, and no handovers where things get dropped.
