Kota Kinabalu: Sabah may be home to the country's largest float-glass manufacturing plant if a proposal to set up such a plant at Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park (KKIP), near here, becomes a reality.



SunBear, a multi-national US company, was invited by Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (Mida) to set up the proposed RM5.3 billion plant in Sabah.

When operational, the plant will be the largest in Malaysia and is expected to produce 2,800 metric tonnes of float glass per day and generate some 10,000 wide-ranging jobs.

On Monday, SunBear Solar Sdn Bhd Chairman, Lee Holt Judd, accompanied by glass-making experts, briefed Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman on the proposed project.
