Inokom
Inokom Corporation Sdn. Bhd. is a subsidiary of Malaysian-based Sime Darby Motors. Inokom is the licensed contract assembler for Hyundai, BMW and Mazda passenger vehicles in Malaysia. Inokom was incorporated in October 1992 through a joint venture between companies from Malaysia, France and South Korea. In 1998, Inokom's shareholders included the Berjaya Group (35%), Royal Malaysian Police Cooperative subsidiary Pesumals (30%), Renault (15%), Hyundai Motor Company (15%) and Hyumal Motor (5%). History Inokom launched its first product, the Inokom Permas in 1998. The Permas is based on the first generation Renault Traffic, and was produced in various configurations at Inokom's new plant in Kulim, Kedah. In May 2000, Inokom launched its second product, the Inokom Lorimas, a license-built Hyundai Porter. Inokom's first non-commercial product, the Hyundai-based Inokom Atos was launched in 2002. In 2004, Sime Darby acquired a 51% stake in Inokom, and by the 2010s, Hyundai assembly operations in Malaysia were centralised at the Inokom plant. Prior to the consolidation, Hyundai models were assembled at two separate plants, namely the Inokom plant in Kulim and the Oriental Assemblers plant in Tampoi. Inokom's acquisition by Sime Darby also led to the assembly of BMW M and Land Rover models at
