Explore the history and strategic growth of Puncak Alam Industrial Park, from an agricultural fringe town to a fast-growing logistics and light industrial hotspot in Selangor.
Puncak Alam: From Plantation Roots to Industrial Opportunity
Puncak Alam, located in the northwest corridor of Selangor, was once largely known for oil palm plantations and rural kampung zones. But over the last 15 years, this township has rapidly evolved—both as a residential growth hub and an emerging industrial investment zone.
Strategically positioned between Kuala Selangor, Shah Alam, and Setia Alam, Puncak Alam is now attracting attention for its affordable industrial land, proximity to highways, and spillover demand from nearby congested zones like Meru, Bukit Raja, and Kapar.
