Bateriku at MATEC

Over the past year, Bateriku has been actively participating in major events across the country. However, this participation at MATEC 2025 carries a more special and meaningful significance.

Bateriku: Two Booths, One Purpose

One of the most memorable moments for Bateriku at this event was the speech by Yang Berbahagia Datuk Wira Dr. Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, Chairman of MARA, who stated that within the next one to two years, Bateriku will be listed on Bursa Malaysia. This statement stands as solid proof of the company’s strong potential and outstanding performance in the local automotive industry.

The moment became even more meaningful when the Deputy Minister of Rural and Regional Development, Yang Berhormat Datuk Hajah Rubiah Binti Wang, echoed the same aspiration. She emphasized that Bateriku (M) Sdn. Bhd. is now on a strong path toward being listed on Bursa Malaysia in the near future.

This further demonstrates that Bateriku has earned high trust from various parties, including government agencies and ministries, as one of the key leaders in Malaysia’s mobility ecosystem.

The RSA Pitstop Challenge is a speedrun style competition where participants must change tires, check engine oil, brake fluid, and radiator fluid in the shortest time possible. However, evaluation is based not only on speed but also on the accuracy of procedures performed.

With a mission to strengthen its brand and expand its business network within the automotive industry, Bateriku showcases two main booths and two subsidiaries symbolizing the company’s strong commitment to continued growth within Malaysia’s mobility ecosystem.
