Presently, the engineering supporting industry is characterised by the predominance of small scale establishments with the exception of a few larger ones. Industrial growth in most developed countries was supported by a network of small and medium-sized enterprises which supplied components and services to the larger multinational companies.

Malaysia will increasingly depend on the engineering industries sector to provide the base upon which the nation will grow in order to achieve fully developed nation status.
