PETALING JAYA: Having made its mark in the prefabricated building technology locally, Encorp Bhd is ready for its maiden foray overseas and has set its sights on projects in Asia and the Middle East. It was negotiating to undertake homes, government quarters and commercial building projects in several countries in the two regions, said group chief executive officer Yeoh Soo Ann. He said Encorp's reputation in designing, financing and constructing 10,000 teachers' quarters in Malaysia using the industrialised building system positioned the company well to seek overseas ventures that used such technology for mass housing projects. “We will go where the returns are operationally and financially viable after taking into consideration the political and currency risks of that particular country and/or region,” he told StarBiz.
