ELEVATING
THE RAILWAYS
FOR A GREENER 
MALAYSIA

The Malaysia Rail Industry Corporation (MARIC) was established as an incorporated association in 2017 with the mission of contributing to the development of Malaysia’s railway systems engineering sector. MARIC’s membership is open to all companies operating in Malaysia that have a local office and are involved in railway systems engineering and related works. Companies engaged in public transportation, communication, transit-oriented development, and railway infrastructure construction are also encouraged to join as members.

​

Since its inception, MARIC has been a strong supporter and strategic partner in advancing Malaysia’s railway agenda through active participation in and organisation of seminars, symposiums, exhibitions, familiarisation programs, Export Acceleration Missions (EAMs), business matchings, and more. As of mid-2025, MARIC's membership has grown significantly to include 70 companies, collectively involving more than 5,000 personnel across a wide range of activities. These include construction, rehabilitation, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), and public-private partnership (PPP) projects both within Malaysia and internationally.

​

MARIC’s core objective is to leverage the multidisciplinary capabilities and extensive experience of local companies, government agencies, and OEMs to expand the railway network while ensuring it remains operational, safe, and sustainable. In supporting the nation’s rail industry, MARIC focuses on systems engineering clusters, including Rolling Stock, Signalling Systems, Telecommunication Systems (including SCADA), Power Supply and Distribution Systems (PSDS), Trackwork, Depot Equipment, and Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) Systems.
