CENTEXS Commercial will operate a commercial packaging center next year.

KUCHING, 11 Nov: CENTEXS Commercial Sarawak will operate the CENTEXS Commercial Packaging Centre (CCPC) as early as January 2027 as a new platform to help local entrepreneurs improve product packaging quality and grow their business.

General Manager of CENTEXS Commercial Sarawak, Mohamad Shahren Mohamad Yusri said the centre will provide various facilities and packaging related facilities to meet the needs of entrepreneurs across Sarawak.

"The initial operation of the CCPC will give its parties space to assess the performance of services before the inauguration ceremony is expected in February next year.

"Our goal is to give space for CENTEXS Commercial Packaging Centre to be operational first to see what we can do in the early stages", he said.

He said this when meeting with reporters at the Empowering Sellers program alongside TikTok Shop Malaysia which brought together entrepreneurs from different parts of Sarawak to attend seminars and training related to business management and revenue generation through the platform.

In the meantime, five pioneering entrepreneurs have also been identified to join CCPC's initiative as an early group that will take advantage of the facilities available.

Commenting further, Mohamad Shahren said the initiative is a new platform introduced by CENTEXS Commercial Sarawak to help entrepreneurs clarify aspects of their product packaging.

"This is the first time that a government-related company (GLC) in Sarawak has held an initiative or platform like this to help entrepreneurs improve and grow their business through product packaging improvements", he added.

According to Mohamad Shahren, the implementation of CCPC also gained support from strategic partners especially in product development aspects as well as provision of information related to local entrepreneurs' needs.

These include the Malaysian Foreign Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), the Sarawak Bumiputera Chamber of Commerce (DUBS), the Karachi Amanah Council (MARA) and the Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC).
