Prai Industrial Estate is one of the major industrial parks in Penang. It covers a wide area bordered by the Prai River in the northwest, Jalan Baru Perai to the north, Sungai Juru to the east, and the Penang Channel to the southwest.
The Prai Industrial Estates was established in the 1970s in response to the need of expanding upon earlier estates such as Mak Mandin. With limited land area on Penang Island, the choice seems right to turn the coastal area of Prai into a major industrial area. This is further boosted when the Penang Bridge was completed. With improved access to the international airport, many more companies set up factories in the area. Bulk cargo is also conveniently shipped through the Prai Bulk Cargo Terminal.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
