KUALA LUMPUR (June 18): Berjaya Corp Bhd (KL:BJCORP) said on Tuesday it has signed separate agreements with two Chinese firms to explore sales collaboration in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
Under the memorandum of cooperations, the company will explore using its distribution network in Malaysia to boost the reach of home appliance maker Skyworth Group Co Ltd, Berjaya Corp said in a statement. The collaboration may also lead to the implementation of residential, commercial and industrial photovoltaic systems, it noted.
Berjaya Corp also agreed with electric vehicle maker Skywell New Energy Automobile Group Co Ltd to establish its brand in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. “This endeavour may include exploring strategic partnership to advance essential technologies and bolster the ecosystem in the country,” it said.
