On May 29, 2014, a significant contract signing event took place between the Brunei Industrial Development Authority (BINA) and SQW China Limited, marking a pivotal moment for the Kuala Lurah Industrial Park project.

Witnessed by various esteemed individuals, this collaborative initiative symbolized a significant step forward in Brunei’s industrial development journey.
Strategic Partnerships for Development
The collaboration between BINA and SQW China Limited is rooted in the common goal of fostering economic growth and development within the industrial sector. SQW China Limited, a well-established consultancy company based in Hong Kong, will provide valuable advisory services encompassing financial and economic analysis for industries, transport survey and infrastructure planning, as well as urban planning and design services for Kuala Lurah Industrial Park. This partnership aligns with the broader vision of creating a well-planned and strategically located hub that caters to diverse industries, focusing particularly on building and construction, sustainable products, renewable energy, and logistics.
The Kuala Lurah Industrial Park Advantage
Situated near the Brunei Darussalam–Malaysia borders, Kuala Lurah Industrial Park holds a unique advantage due to its proximity to key transportation routes. This geographical advantage positions Kuala Lurah as an ideal hub for various industries, including sustainable green industries, logistics, and high-value trading activities. The park’s master plan is designed in three phases, with the first phase centered on project definitions and analysis, including market opportunities and economic potential within the ASEAN context. The subsequent phases will involve the preparation of a Concept Master Plan and the delivery of the Final Master Plan, ultimately shaping Kuala Lurah into a thriving industrial hub that contributes to the nation’s economic prosperity.
Enhancing Industrial Diversity at Kuala Lurah Industrial Park
The Park is a pivotal component of Brunei’s industrial landscape, aiming to diversify the nation’s economy beyond its traditional reliance on oil and gas. Through meticulous planning and strategic collaboration, BINA aims to establish an industrial environment that attracts investments, stimulates job creation, and contributes to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This initiative is in line with Brunei’s aspirations to become a key player in the global halal food market while fostering sustainable growth within the industrial sector. The development of Kuala Lurah Industrial Park underscores Brunei’s commitment to economic diversification and a thriving future.
The collaborative efforts between BINA and SQW China Limited are poised to transform Kuala Lurah Industrial Park into a dynamic industrial hub that aligns with Brunei’s economic diversification goals. By capitalizing on strategic partnerships, geographical advantages, and meticulous planning, this project sets the stage for sustainable growth, increased investment, and enhanced economic resilience. As Brunei takes strides toward a more diversified and vibrant economy, Kuala Lurah Industrial Park remains a testament to the nation’s vision for a prosperous and industrially diverse future.
