Kuantan Port recently marked a significant milestone with the successful maiden shipment of tyres by Maxtrek Tyre Manufacturing Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Maxtrek Tyre) to Manzanillo, Mexico, on 11 April 2026, signalling a growing export pathway from the East Coast to North America.
The milestone was attended by Mazlim Husin, Chief Commercial Officer of Kuantan Port, together with management representatives from Maxtrek Tyre, a valued client whose manufacturing facility is located within the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park (MCKIP).
This achievement reflects the strength of sustained customer engagement and the ability to deliver tailored logistics solutions that meet evolving supply chain demands. It also highlights the importance of close coordination across borders in enabling efficient and reliable export flows to new markets.
The collaboration with Maxtrek Tyre underscores Kuantan Port’s role in facilitating industrial growth within MCKIP while strengthening Malaysia’s position in global trade. As export demand continues to expand, particularly into North America, Kuantan Port remains focused on enhancing connectivity, deepening partnerships, and supporting the steady growth of container throughput.
