From a 2,500 sq ft workshop in Rawang to one of Malaysia's trusted names in heavy industrial engineering — built on one simple principle: do it right or don't do it at all.
In 1996, Ganesan Kandasamy started GV Engineering Works with a clear purpose: to provide Malaysia's cement plants with a mechanical engineering partner they could truly rely on. The workshop was 2,500 square feet — just enough room for a lathe, a welding set, and a determination to solve problems that other shops wouldn't take on.
That determination defined the company's growth. Clients in the cement industry kept coming back — not because of sales pitches, but because GV delivered what was promised, when it was promised. When a kiln bearing failed at 2am, GV answered the phone. When a shutdown schedule had zero margin for delay, GV met the deadline. Word spread from one plant manager to the next.
Today, GV Engineering operates from a 15,000 sq ft facility in Rawang Integrated Industrial Park — and is still growing. The workshop houses heavy-duty lathes capable of turning components up to Ø1,800mm, CNC plasma cutting systems, plate rolling machines, and overhead cranes. The team has grown to over 40 skilled personnel, serving clients across cement, power generation, palm oil, mining, and chemical processing industries.
But the core has never changed. Every job that comes through the workshop is treated as if it were for GV's own plant. Corners are never cut to increase margins. The focus remains where it started — solve the customer's problem and give them peace of mind.
"Either do it the right way, or don't do it at all. Our customers come back because we solve their problems and give them peace of mind — that's worth more than any shortcut."
— Ganesan Kandasamy, Managing DirectorThree decades of steady growth — built on repeat business, not marketing campaigns.
Started with a 2,500 sq ft workshop in Rawang, serving cement plants with mechanical maintenance and basic machining services.
Secured long-term maintenance contracts with cement manufacturers. Reputation for on-time delivery during shutdowns began attracting repeat business.
Invested in heavy-duty lathe (Ø1.5m capacity), CNC plasma cutting, and plate rolling. Workshop expanded to handle larger components and heavier fabrication projects.
Extended services into mining, chemical processing, and power generation sectors. Clients now included Lynas Corporation, Showa Denko, and YTL.
Six times the original size. Added overhead crane capacity, expanded fabrication bay, and grew the team to 40+ skilled personnel.
Preparing for Saudi Build 2025 exhibition to enter the Middle Eastern market. Celebrating 30 years of engineering reliability. New service lines including chemical injection skid manufacturing.
We never cut corners to save cost or time. Every weld, every tolerance, every inspection is done to standard — because our name goes on it.
Our job isn't just to fabricate steel or machine a shaft. It's to solve your problem so you can focus on running your plant — not worrying about your vendor.
In shutdown work, a missed deadline costs hundreds of thousands per day. We plan backwards from your deadline and deliver to the hour, not the day.
Every component that leaves our workshop is treated as if it were going into our own plant. That standard of care is non-negotiable.
We maintain active certifications and registrations to meet the compliance requirements of multinational and government clients.
Quality Management System certified. Documented processes for fabrication, machining, reconditioning, and project delivery.
Construction Industry Development Board registered. Qualified for mechanical engineering projects up to RM5 million per contract.
Ministry of Finance registered contractor. Eligible to bid on government and government-linked company projects.
Structural welding to American Welding Society standards. Certified welders for critical structural and load-bearing joints.
Pressure vessel and piping welding qualifications. Qualified for process equipment and high-pressure applications.
Full compliance with Department of Occupational Safety and Health requirements for site work and workshop operations.
