The Oryx Stainless Group (Oryx), a supplier of recycled stainless steel raw materials headquartered in the Netherlands, has officially opened its latest facility in Johor, Malaysia. The site reinforces the region’s position as a strategic hub for sustainable industrial growth.
The facility arrives at a crucial time for Malaysia’s environmental goals, supporting the national target of 45% carbon intensity reduction per GDP by 2030 and helping attract RM 300bn in green investments. With each ton of recycled material saving up to 8.5 tonnes of CO₂, the plant’s annual impact approaches 1 million tonnes in emissions reduction.
Oryx specialises in creating precise blends of recycled raw materials for various stainless steels, addressing the need for over 150 different alloys. Their process involves analysing, storing, and producing high-quality recycled materials to meet specific metallurgical compositions.
As Phase 1 begins, the facility will process 150,000 tonnes of stainless steel annually, marking a significant step forward in regional resource conservation and sustainable manufacturing. This investment demonstrates how industrial growth can drive both economic and environmental progress in Southeast Asia.
