SEBERANG PERAI, Malaysia, May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trensor Electronics Sdn Bhd, the Malaysian subsidiary of Trensor Co Ltd—a leading manufacturer of automotive pressure sensors—held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the commencement of construction on its new manufacturing plant at the Penang Technology Park @Bertam in Penang, Malaysia.

The new plant—a four-storey facility with an approximate floor area of 10,000 square meters and an estimated investment of RM100 million—is expected to begin mass production of automotive pressure sensors before Q2 2026. At full capacity, it will employ over 200 workers and generate more than RM200 million in annual sales. Trensor has also reserved space on its current land lots to accommodate future expansions.

The ceremony was attended by YAB Chow Kon Yeow, the Chief Minister of Penang, YB H'ng Mooi Lye, the Penang State Executive Councillor (EXCO) for Local Government and Town&Country Planning, as well as representatives from various local organizations, including the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Northern Corridor Implementation Authority (NCIA) and InvestPenang.

In his speech, YAB Chow Kon Yeow welcomed Trensor's entry into Penang's vibrant industrial ecosystem and emphasized its role in strengthening the state's electrical and electronics value chain, particularly in automotive electronics.

Zhou Wenbo, General Manager of Trensor Electronics Sdn Bhd, stated: "The decision by Trensor Co Ltd to establish its first-ever overseas factory in Penang, Malaysia, was driven by the state's world-class infrastructure, business-friendly governance, high quality of life, cultural affinity, and abundant pool of high-tech talent attracted to the 'Silicon Valley of the East'."

"MIDA, InvestPenang, the Seberang Perai City Council, and all local authorities have provided strong support in helping Trensor turn its globalization strategy into a concrete reality today," Zhou added.

Trensor Co Ltd specializes in the development and manufacture of automotive pressure sensors, ranking highly in annual output, automation, and vertical integration. Its world-class products are included in the procurement systems of major global automakers such as Ford and Geely, as well as Tier 1 suppliers like Cummins and Hanon Systems. Approximately 60% of the company's revenue is derived from exports, primarily to North America and Europe. Its pressure sensors are also used in the air conditioning systems of Perodua vehicles.

The Penang facility will support Trensor's strategic expansion into Southeast Asia's growing automotive markets and beyond.

About the Live-Action How to Train Your Dragon

From three-time Oscar® nominee and Golden Globe winner Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind DreamWorks Animation's acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, comes a stunning live-action reimagining of the film that launched the beloved franchise. 

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society. 

With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village's quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding.

As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader. 

The film also stars Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Gabriel Howell (Bodies), Bronwyn James (Wicked), Harry Trevaldwyn (Smothered), Ruth Codd (The Midnight Club), BAFTA nominee Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Murray McArthur (Game of Thrones).

How to Train Your Dragon is written, produced and directed by DeBlois. It is also produced by four-time Oscar® nominee Marc Platt (Wicked, La La Land) and Emmy winner Adam Siegel (Drive, 2 Guns). How To Train Your Dragon is part of the Filmed For IMAX® Program, which offers filmmakers IMAX® technology to help them deliver the most immersive movie experience to audiences around the world. 

Inspired by Cressida Cowell's New York Times bestselling book series, DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon franchise has captivated global audiences, earning four Academy Award® nominations and grossing more than $1.6 billion at the global box-office. Now, through cutting-edge visual effects, DeBlois transforms his beloved animated saga into a breathtaking live-action spectacle, bringing the epic adventures of Hiccup and Toothless to life with jaw-dropping realism as they discover the true meaning of friendship, courage and destiny.
