Origin

First CNC machine delivered to Kelantan.

Kamarul Hafiz Muhamed founded Limpahan in the deepest quarter of the pandemic. The first HAAS spindle arrived in Pengkalan Chepa before most of the east coast had seen a precision vertical machining centre. The ambition, from day one, was not a workshop — but a precision manufacturer capable of serving oil & gas, aerospace, and eventually green hydrogen.

Five years on, the floor runs HAAS VF-2SE (×2), VF-6SS, ST-20Y, a Mazak 5-axis multi-tasking machine, Excetek wire EDM, plus Wenzel CMM, Zoller, and Okamoto for metrology — alongside additive 3D printing, 3D scanning, and fabrication. The Pengkalan Chepa manufacturing campus is complemented by an MRO yard at Tok Bali Supply Base.

Positioning

From CNC workshop to aerospace + hydrogen manufacturer.

The strategic pivot began in 2022 with the delivery of Malaysia's first 1 MW PEM electrolyzer (PEMEL "Darul Hana"). PETRONAS needed a local manufacturing partner. Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia sought a collaborator for their PEM fuel-cell programme. Limpahan's precision floor and willingness to engineer novel assemblies turned a generic CNC supplier into the first east-coast hydrogen-technology manufacturer.

Today Limpahan ships electrolyzer components for PETRONAS, has built two NanoMalaysia HyPEReactors at Pos Tibang and Kg Tekam, holds UKAS AS9100D certification (SIRIM 0074), and is developing the H2BRID solar-hydrogen mobile system for 2026.

Core Values

Nilai Limpahan.

Three commitments that govern every cutting path, every weld, every hydrogen cell we ship.

001 / Quality

Product Quality Standards

Every aerospace dispatch ships with traceable Wenzel CMM reports. UKAS AS9100D is the formal aerospace credential; ISO 9001:2015 captures the underlying QMS spine.

002 / Environment

Environmental Protection

Coolant reclamation, scrap segregation, and a deliberate move into hydrogen and solar-hybrid manufacturing — Limpahan's environmental commitment is operational, not aspirational. ISO 14001:2015 formalises it.

003 / Safety

Occupational Health & Safety

Every operator is trained on the spindle they run. PPE, lockout-tagout, and machine guarding are non-negotiable. ISO 45001:2018 makes explicit what the floor already lives.

Operations

Two Kelantan facilities. One supply chain.

MFG / Pengkalan Chepa16100

Manufacturing Campus

Pengkalan Chepa, Kelantan

The precision manufacturing floor. CNC machining centres, 5-axis Mazak, wire EDM, metrology, additive 3D printing, fabrication, and traceable QC under one roof. Sited for regional raw-material logistics and a Kelantan working week (Sun–Thu, 9am–6pm).

Certifications & Licenses

Aerospace-grade quality, formally certified.

Three tiers: UKAS AS9100D for aerospace, the ISO IMS trio for quality / environmental / safety, and licenses backing PETRONAS, MIDA, and procurement work.

Tier 01 — Aerospace
AS9100DUKAS · SIRIM 0074
UKAS-Accredited Aerospace Quality Management
The single strongest credential on the floor. AS9100D is the international quality management standard for aviation, space, and defense organizations — built on ISO 9001 with additional aerospace requirements for risk, configuration management, and supply chain traceability. Limpahan's UKAS-accredited certificate (SIRIM cert 0074) opens supply contracts with Airbus, ATR, and tier-1 aerospace primes.
Tier 02 — IMS · IQNET
ISO 9001:2015

Quality management system — design, procurement, production, dispatch.

Tier 02 — IMS · IQNET
ISO 14001:2015

Environmental management — coolant, scrap, emissions, water accountability.

Tier 02 — IMS · IQNET
ISO 45001:2018

Occupational health & safety — PPE, LOTO, machine guarding, hazard analysis.
