Overview
Taliworks, formally Taliworks Corporation Berhad, is a Malaysian public utilities and infrastructure services group operating across water, waste management, highway concessions, and construction. The company is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia under the trading and services sector and is part of the LGB Group. Its water business manages, operates, and maintains water treatment plants and water distribution systems. This activity places Taliworks within Malaysia’s essential-services infrastructure sector, where long-term operational reliability, regulatory compliance, asset maintenance, and continuity of public supply are central to the business model. The group has also undertaken the design, construction, and supervision of water-supply works through turnkey contracts, extending its role beyond day-to-day utility operations into project delivery. Taliworks’ waste-management activities cover the management, operation, and maintenance of waste-management services, together with technical services associated with waste treatment. The company has held a 21-year concession to operate and maintain the Tianjin Panlou Life Waste Transfer Station in Tianjin, China. Its research and technology arm has also operated a production facility for CK21 bacteria, a biological treatment product used in water and wastewater sludge treatment in China. The group’s highway business is conducted through Grand Saga Sdn Bhd, the operator of the Cheras–Kajang Highway concession. The concession is described as running until 2027. Taliworks acquired a controlling interest in Grand Saga, strengthening its position in Malaysian transport infrastructure and diversifying the group beyond water and waste services. Alongside its operating divisions, Taliworks maintains investment-holding activities and certain dormant companies. Its technical capabilities include laboratory services, with Taliworks Analytical Laboratory identified as certified to MS ISO/IEC 17025:2005. Overall, Taliworks is positioned as a long-term infrastructure operator whose activities combine regulated utility services, concession management, environmental services, and construction support. Publicly available reference material does not establish a founding year, founder, current executive roster, or a corporate website, so those fields remain unspecified here.
History
Taliworks Corporation Berhad is a Malaysian public utilities conglomerate and a member of the LGB Group. The company’s public profile is built around the operation, maintenance, and development of infrastructure with long-term utility or concession characteristics. Water is one of Taliworks’ principal business areas. Through this segment, the company manages and operates water-treatment plants and water-distribution systems. It has also been involved in the design, construction, and supervision of water-supply works under turnkey arrangements. These activities give Taliworks both an operational role in existing water assets and a project-delivery role in the development or improvement of supply infrastructure. The company subsequently broadened its infrastructure portfolio through waste management. Its waste-management segment provides management, operation, and maintenance services as well as technical services connected with waste management. Taliworks also secured 21-year concession rights for the operation and maintenance of the Tianjin Panlou Life Waste Transfer Station in Tianjin, China. This concession represented an overseas extension of the group’s infrastructure-services model. Taliworks’ research and technology activities include a production facility for CK21 bacteria. The biological product is used for treating water and wastewater sludge in China, linking the group’s technical-development activities with its water and environmental-services businesses. Another major diversification was the company’s entry into highway-concession operations through Grand Saga Sdn Bhd. Taliworks purchased a controlling interest in Grand Saga, which manages the Cheras–Kajang Highway concession in Malaysia. The concession is reported to expire in 2027. This transaction added transport infrastructure to Taliworks’ existing water and waste activities and made concession management an important part of the group’s operating scope. The company also maintains construction and investment-holding activities. Its construction segment covers water-supply works, while investment holding includes investment companies and dormant entities. Technical quality infrastructure is represented by Taliworks Analytical Laboratory, which is identified as certified to MS ISO/IEC 17025:2005. Taliworks is listed on Bursa Malaysia’s Main Market under the trading and services sector with the stock code MYX: 8524. The available reference material does not provide a reliable founding year, founder, detailed chronology of corporate changes, or a current and former executive list. Accordingly, the documented history is strongest on the company’s operating segments, concessions, technology activities, and public-market status rather than on its early corporate origins.
