Malaysia's manufacturing sector has undergone a massive transformation, shifting towards high-value, high-precision engineering. From the semiconductor corridors of Penang (the Silicon Valley of the East) to the bustling logistics and packaging hubs of Selangor and the heavy industrial zones of Johor, custom screen printing plays a foundational role in modern production lines.
Today, screen printing is no longer restricted to traditional textile graphics. In Malaysia's booming electronics manufacturing services (EMS) sector, screen printing screens are critical for high-accuracy solder paste deposition, membrane switch overlays, and flexible printed circuits (FPCs). Similarly, the automotive assembly plants in Tanjung Malim and Shah Alam demand flawless screen-printed instrument panels, windshield borders, and decorative interior components.
High demand for sub-micron precision screen exposure for circuit boards and micro-components.
Fast-growing luxury cosmetics, pharmaceutical packaging, and consumer goods require advanced cold foil and cast-and-cure screen embellishments.
High-speed stop cylinder screen presses are vital to meet regional demand for durable, eco-friendly garment decorations.
For screen printing factories in Malaysia, efficiency and sustainability are the twin pillars of industrial competitiveness. Traditional screen-making methods involving film positives, vacuum frames, and manual exposure setups are increasingly being phased out. Local manufacturers are actively adopting Computer-to-Screen (CTS) technology, such as the DIS-300 CTS Plate and Scanner system, to optimize their pre-press operations.
By transferring digital designs directly onto coated screens via UV laser exposure, CTS technology eliminates the cost, storage, and alignment issues associated with physical film. In high-humidity tropical climates like Malaysia, film expansion or contraction can compromise alignment. CTS bypasses this entirely, ensuring perfect registration for multi-color print runs on electronic components and high-end labels.
Furthermore, the integration of Linear Magnetic Servo Screen Printing Presses (like the ST-1060AD) provides unprecedented registration accuracy (within ±0.01mm). For Malaysian automotive decal manufacturers and membrane switch designers, this level of precision prevents defects, reduces waste, and dramatically improves yield rates—aligning perfectly with Malaysia's national push towards automation, Industry 4.0, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.

ST Machinery Factory was established, specializing in the trade of second-hand post-press printing equipment.
Dongguan Shengtu Bookbinding Machinery Co., Ltd. was established, focusing on the production of post-press equipment. In 2005, the company introduced its first fully automatic case-making machine.
Dongguan Shengtu Printing Equipment Co., Ltd. was established. With a relocation to a new facility, the company expanded its business scope to specialize in the manufacturing of fully automated packaging and printing equipment.
Shengtu fully acquired Shanghai SCT Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., marking a strategic expansion into the development and production of screen printing machines and related auxiliary equipment.
Guangdong Shengtu Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. was established, further expanding the company's business scope.
The company has relocated to its self-built industrial park — the Shengtu Intelligent Manufacturing Park — in Dongguan Dalingshan Town.
As Malaysia advances its New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, the manufacturing ecosystems in Penang, Selangor, and Johor are transitioning rapidly towards digitalized, automated, and sustainable setups. In the screen printing industry, several key trends are emerging:
ST Machinery’s robust lineup of automatic cylinder screen presses and CTS exposure systems is engineered to address these exact requirements, offering Malaysian enterprises a competitive edge in both local and international markets.
