Malaysian logistics provider Mutiara Perlis Sdn Bhd (MPSB), Kalmar Corporation and Kalmar dealer Mach 1 are delivering a fleet of materials handling equipment to Malaysia’s Perlis Inland Port (PIP).

The fleet, which includes six Kalmar reachstackers, three empty container handlers and six terminal tractors, was purchased by Mach 1 in 2024 with delivery to be finalised in Q3 2025.

“The signing ceremony…marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration between MPSB and Mach 1, and PIP’s transformation into a leader in inland port services, linking key trade routes across Southeast Asia,” Kalmar states.

“This advanced fleet is designed to support PIP’s high-performance multimodal operations, enabling MPSB to more than double its handling capacity and work toward an ambitious goal of 1 million TEUs annually upon full project completion.”

Yew Boon Teo, VP Kalmar AMEA adds: “This collaboration signifies the beginning of a long-term partnership focused on scalable, customer-centric solutions that meet today’s operational demands and tomorrow’s regional ambitions.”
