Strengthening Spain-Malaysia ties through innovation
At La Cámara, one of our key missions is to support Spanish companies established in Malaysia and showcase the innovation and expertise they bring to the local market.
We recently had the privilege of taking part in an institutional visit to Molecor’s headquarters and manufacturing facilities in Spain, together with H.E. Mrs. Haznah Md Hashim, Ambassador of Malaysia to the Kingdom of Spain, and Mr. Farhan Ariffin, Economic Counsellor at the Embassy of Malaysia in Spain. We were warmly welcomed by Ignacio Muñoz de Juan, Founder and Group CEO of Molecor, together with Walter Philip PATTYNAMA, CEO of Molecor South East Asia and Chairman of La Cámara.
During the visit, we had the opportunity to learn first-hand about Molecor’s remarkable journey, its commitment to innovation, and the advanced technology behind its world-leading TOM® PVC-O piping systems.
Molecor is a Spanish multinational with production facilities across multiple continents. Recognising the strategic importance of Southeast Asia, the company chose Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as the headquarters for its regional operations, supported by its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Kuantan. From this strategic hub, Molecor serves markets across Southeast Asia with cutting-edge water infrastructure solutions. Thanks to its patented molecular orientation technology, Molecor manufactures TOM® PVC-O pipes that are significantly stronger, lighter and more durable than conventional alternatives, while reducing raw material consumption, installation time and lifecycle costs, delivering outstanding performance and long-term value for water infrastructure projects.
Institutional visits like this are fundamental to La Cámara. They allow us to strengthen the relationship between Spanish companies and Malaysian institutions, showcase Spanish innovation, and reinforce the role of Spanish businesses as trusted partners in Malaysia’s economic development.
We are especially proud that Molecor is one of La Cámara’s Gold Sponsors, whose support plays a key role in enabling us to continue promoting trade, investment and business cooperation between Spain and Malaysia.
Our sincere thanks to Ignacio Muñoz de Juan, Walter Pattynama, H.E. Mrs. Haznah Md Hashim and Mr. Farhan Ariffin for making this institutional visit possible.
Initiatives like these continue to strengthen the bridges between Spain and Malaysia and create new opportunities for collaboration between our two countries.
