Industrial training report: Allnex Malaysia Sdn. Bhd

My 6-month industrial training at Allnex Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. was a great opportunity for me to gain practical experience in the Human Resources department. I was able to learn a lot and gain important knowledge about the company's operations throughout this period. Allnex Malaysia, a subsidiary of the leading global company. Since its founding in 2013, Allnex has become known as a significant player in the Malaysian market. Specializing in resins and additives for industries such as coatings, paints, inks, adhesives, and plastics, Allnex Malaysia focuses on sustainability, customer satisfaction, and innovative solutions. In addition to offering excellent products and outstanding customer service, the company is dedicated to reducing its environmental effect through eco-friendly procedures. Throughout my training, I learned to use the "iFlexi System" to manage attendance data and became familiar with HR processes within a global organization. The staff at Allnex was friendly and collaborative, and they were always willing to share their expertise and provide advice. In this report, I conduct a SWOT analysis of Allnex Malaysia, highlighting strengths such as its strong global support and market leadership in the coatings industry. I also discuss challenges like intense competition and pricing pressures from local customers. Opportunities for growth include expanding into emerging markets and utilizing new technologies, while threats include potential regulatory changes. My recommendations focus on establishing a centralized filing system, increasing training opportunities via online classes, and enhancing GBS services through feedback from staff. Allnex also should hire more HR staff, invest in automation for efficiency and safety, focus R&D for sustainable coatings, and stay updated on local regulations to remain competitive, especially in the electric vehicle industry. Overall, this internship has been an incredibly enriching experience that expanded my professional skills and provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the HR function and the company’s broader strategic goals.
