Aluminium Project/Tender

Aluminium projects in Johor Bahru as of early 2026 are focused on industrial expansion, data center construction, and public infrastructure upgrades, with a strong demand for CIDB-certified suppliers. Key areas include fabrication for AI-ready data centers, high-end aluminum extrusion projects, and facade works for new residential/commercial buildings.

Key Aluminium Tender/Project Trends in Johor (2026):

  • Industrial/Commercial Construction: Ongoing demand for aluminum facades, windows, and doors in new factories, especially in Senai and Iskandar Puteri, involving firms like BHA Aluminium & Glass.
  • Infrastructure & Utilities: Potential for supply tenders in public works projects, such as those announced by Ranhill SAJ in Johor Bahru.
  • AI Data Centers: Projects involving specialized aluminum materials for cooling systems and high-density power infrastructure (e.g., TNB tenders) and TM/Nxera JV in Iskandar Puteri.
  • Residential Development: Development of new residential phases (e.g., Bandar Tiram) requires high-grade aluminum materials.

Steps to Identify Specific Tenders:

  • CIDB Malaysia: Monitor the CIDB tender notice page for projects requiring specialized, high-standard aluminium components (e.g., MS832:2022).
  • Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA): Check IRDA procurement for large-scale development projects in Johor.
  • Local Project Sites: Keep an eye on ongoing developments in Bandar Dato Onn and Taman Bukit Indah for sub-contracting opportunities.

Requirements:

  • Mandatory CIDB Grade G7 for major projects.
  • Compliance with Malaysian Standards (MS832:2022 & MS1017:2022) for alloy windows and doors.

Aluminium Work Project Calculation

  • Aluminium & Glass Dept.

As of early 2026, the price of aluminium in Malaysia varies based on the alloy grade, form (sheet, extrusion, ingot), and market fluctuations. General pricing for industrial-grade aluminum ranges from RM 15 to RM 45 per kg, with specialized alloys and fabrication services costing more.

Aluminium Price Per Kg (Malaysia 2026 Estimates)

  • Basic Aluminium Extrusions/Profiles: RM 15 – RM 25 per kg.
  • Anodized Aluminium: RM 20 – RM 35 per kg.
  • Custom Fabricated Parts: RM 25 – RM 45 per kg (includes cutting/drilling).
  • High-Strength Alloys (e.g., 7075, 5083, 6061): RM 30 – RM 50 per kg.
  • Aluminium Sheet (1mm-3mm): Approximately RM 40 – RM 70 per square meter, with bulk sheets often sold based on weight (approx. RM 17–RM 20 per kg for standard 1100-H14 grade).
  • Scrap Aluminium: RM 5 – RM 10.50 per kg (depending on purity).

Fabrication Services in Malaysia
Fabrication costs in Malaysia typically include cutting, bending, welding, and surface treatment.

  • Fabrication & Finishing: Custom cutting, drilling, and tapping generally add to the base material cost, often elevating the price up to RM 45 per kg for finished parts.
  • Common Fabrication Processes: Welding, machining, and powder coating are common, especially for construction, transport, and manufacturing applications.
  • Standard Thicknesses: 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm sheets are commonly used in industrial and construction projects.

Factors Influencing Prices

  • Alloy Series: 6000 series (6061, 6063) is standard for structural applications, while 5000 series (5052) is used for marine environments.
  • Market Trends: Prices are influenced by global market trends (e.g., LME prices) and local, rising demand in Malaysia.
  • Weight vs. Size: While the above estimates focus on price per kg, sheets are often priced per square meter or by standard sheet weight (e.g., 24kg for a standard 3mm x 4′ x 8′ sheet).

Note: The prices above are estimates based on available 2025-2026 data and can change rapidly due to international market fluctuations.
