Penang, as the most progressive state in Malaysia, has initiated the development of Penang International Halal Hub to serve the growing global consumer demands for Halal products, services and solutions. For the 2nd smallest state in Malaysia, this is a natural progression as it rides on the strength of more than 35 years of manufacturing excellence.

In support of Malaysia’s vision to be the world Halal leader, Penang capitalizes on its competitive advantages to promote Halal industries as the emerging engine of growth and generate sustainable economic values for the state. A strong tri-partite model of collaboration between government, private and academic quarters formed the basis of the PIHH administrative structure. The PIHH Task Force and PIHH Steering Committees for the Halal Clusters had been set up to mould the policies and direction for PIHH to become the leading hub in the State and region.

The seriousness of the Penang State Government is reflected in its decision to form an agency named PIHH Development Sdn Bhd, also known as Halal Penang, to spearhead the coordination and facilitation of the promotion and development of the Halal industries in Penang. Halal Penang works in tandem with the State’s investment promotion agency, investPenang, Penang Development Corporation (PDC), State Religious Department (JAIPP) as well as the federal authorities such as Halal Industry Development Corporation (HDC) and JAKIM. Through these working relationships, the State government envisaged lifting the Halal industries to greater heights

Penang International Halal Hub is not just another halal hub or park in Malaysia. We take pride in understanding the needs of investors and businesses; link them with the most integrated supply chain solutions whilst maintaining the most conducive investment environment.
