Heavy Industrial Machinery Plant Relocation

Executing a complex, zero-downtime relocation of a 5,000-tonne heavy industrial manufacturing facility from Japan to Malaysia.

Heavy Machinery OEM

Background

To expand production capacity, a heavy machinery OEM needed to relocate its entire manufacturing plant—including 450 heavy stamping presses and automated assembly lines—from Penang to a new industrial park in Kedah. The primary challenge was executing the massive move without shutting down ongoing customer production schedules or damaging sensitive precision tooling.

LOGISTEED delivered a complete turnkey factory relocation service. LOGISTEED engineers executed match-marking, electrical decommissioning, mechanical dismantling, heavy rigging using 400-ton hydraulic gantries, vacuum crating, and precision laser alignment at the new facility during weekend shutdown windows.

Summary of How LOGISTEED Helped:

  • Zero Production Interruption: Relocated all 450 machinery units seamlessly without interrupting critical production output.
  • Early Project Completion: Handed over the operational plant 5 days ahead of the master timeline.
  • Precision Re-installation: Re-anchored and leveled all heavy assembly lines with zero recalibration or alignment errors.

Project Scope

Project Scope

LOGISTEED delivered complete factory turnkey relocation services including electrical decommissioning, mechanical dismantling, heavy transport, and precision leveling at the new site.

Scope of work included:

  • Laser-tracker alignment and match-marking of complex automated assembly lines
  • Heavy rigging using hydraulic gantry systems and 200-ton mobile cranes
  • Custom wooden crating and vacuum packaging for overseas sensitive tooling

Challenges

Moving heavy stamping presses weighing up to 90 tons required strict floor load management and specialized transport permits along public highways.

The plant relocation had to occur in synchronized phases to allow ongoing manufacturing of critical customer orders without stopping production.
