CORPORATE
PROFILE
Incorporated in December 2000 and listed on 17 November 2023, WCE Holdings Berhad is primarily focused on the execution of the West Coast Expressway Project by its 80%-owned subsidiary, West Coast Expressway Sdn Bhd, an ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 company.
Incorporated in December 2000 and listed on 17 November 2003, WCE Holdings Berhad is principally engaged in the implementation of the West Coast Expressway (WCE) project through its 80%-owned subsidiary, West Coast Expressway Sdn Bhd, an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified company.
The WCE project is a 233-kilometre build-operate-transfer (BOT) privatisation initiative, stretching from Banting in Selangor to Taiping in Perak. It serves as a vital alternative north–south alignment along Peninsular Malaysia’s west coast, designed to improve regional mobility and economic integration.
As of mid-2025, overall construction progress has reached 95%, with eight out of eleven sections completed and opened to traffic. These include Section 1 from Banting to the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), Section 2 from SKVE to the Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS), Section 5 from Bandar Bukit Raja Selatan to Bandar Bukit Raja Utara, Section 6 from Bandar Bukit Raja Utara to Assam Jawa, Section 8 from Hutan Melintang to Teluk Intan, Section 9 from Kampung Lekir to Changkat Chermin, Section 10 from Changkat Chermin to Beruas, and Section 11 from Beruas to Taiping Selatan.
The opening of Sections 1 and 2 in August 2024 and January 2025, respectively, has significantly enhanced connectivity in the Klang Valley by linking WCE directly to key highways such as SKVE and KESAS, the latter being a crucial arterial route for Port Klang connectivity and commercial logistics.
The Group is targeting the near-term opening of the remaining three sections, which will mark the full completion of the WCE alignment. These include Section 3, which connects KESAS to the Federal Highway Route 2 (FHR2) and the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE); Section 4, which links FHR2 and NKVE to the North Klang Straits Bypass (NNKSB); and Section 7, which extends from Assam Jawa to Tanjong Karang.
The WCE corridor connects key urban and rural centres including Banting, Klang, Kuala Selangor, Hutan Melintang, Teluk Intan, Sitiawan, Manjung, and Taiping, offering a modern highway alternative that reduces traffic congestion and provides a smoother, flatter route for commercial vehicles. Its proximity to major ports—Port Klang, Lumut Port, and Penang Port, makes it especially beneficial for logistics and transportation sectors.
As a catalyst for regional development, WCE supports the growth of housing, industrial, commercial, and tourism sectors. Popular tourist destinations such as Sekinchan, Lumut, and Pulau Pangkor stand to benefit significantly from the improved accessibility and traffic dispersion.
Beyond highway infrastructure, the Group is actively involved in the construction projects, such as the construction works of a proposed access from West Coast Expressway to a mixed development known as Kota Seri Langat. In addition, the Group is also undertaking the construction of Section 7B (Part 2 of Section 7), a 10km segment from Assam Jawa Interchange to Tanjong Karang Interchange.
Looking ahead, WCE Holdings Berhad remains committed to sustainable infrastructure development and is confident that its ongoing and future ventures will continue to support long-term growth, national connectivity, and economic value creation.
