Full Release: Kuala Lumpur, 23 September – UEM Edgenta Berhad (“UEM Edgenta” or the “Company”), the region’s leading Asset Management and Infrastructure Solutions company has been conferred as the 2021 Frost & Sullivan Malaysia Facilities Management Company of the Year Award for the sixth consecutive year.

Commenting on the win, Syahrunizam Samsudin, UEM Edgenta’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer said, “Being conferred with this award is both an honour and testament of UEM Edgenta’s ability to continuously provide the best solutions and services, driven by technology and innovation. We are honoured to receive this prestigious award which celebrates best practices in the facilities management industry, and to be recognised with this award for the sixth year in a row, is especially meaningful for all of us.”

“Facilities management also comes hand-in-hand with health and safety which are extremely important to us here in UEM Edgenta, as we strive to inculcate and embed them as part of our culture and DNA, in all aspects of the work we do. This is, therefore, also a demonstration of the continuous resilience shown by our front liners stationed in the buildings under our care throughout these challenging times, as we do our part in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic,” added Syahrunizam.

The award was presented to Syahrunizam, who accepted it on behalf of UEM Edgenta at the 2021 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Best Practices Award, held virtually recently.

According to Melvin Leong, Global Head of Buildings Research of Frost & Sullivan, “UEM Edgenta is genuinely resilient and stayed ahead during the pandemic. Pre-2020, the Company grew its healthcare segment and invested in technologies for its facility management services, laying a solid business foundation. These foundations have paid off, with the company registering growth in 2020.”

“The company differentiated itself with unique strategies in business expansion and environmentally sustainable practices, achieving green accreditations for customer portfolios and winning new contracts amid a challenging year. It also established excellent customer experience by leveraging AI and IoT. UEM Edgenta is set to redefine the facilities management industry as it becomes a fully technology-enabled provider in four to five years,” he commented.

This is the seventh consecutive year that UEM Edgenta has been recognised by Frost & Sullivan since 2015, which celebrates the Company’s efforts in enhancing and improving the facilities management industry through its sustainable and quality services. In 2015, the Company was recognised through the 2015 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Integrated Facilities Management Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership Award.
