Multi Ways Holdings Expands Singapore Operational Footprint by Approximately 149,000 Square Feet to Support Hybrid and EV Construction Equipment Strategy

New Capacity Anchored by Five-Year Lease on Dedicated Warehouse and Yard Facility; Supports Pivot Toward Higher-Demand, Energy-Efficient Equipment Segments

SINGAPORE, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Multi Ways Holdings Limited (“Multi Ways,” the “Company” or the “Issuer”) (NYSE American: MWG), a leading supplier of a wide range of heavy construction equipment for sales and rental in Singapore and the surrounding region, today announced that it has secured approximately 149,000 square feet of additional industrial capacity in Singapore to accelerate its strategic expansion into hybrid and electric (EV) construction equipment. The expansion comprises approximately 69,460 square feet of newly leased industrial space secured during the first quarter of 2026, together with a separate dedicated warehouse and yard facility of over 80,000 square feet under a five-year lease commencing April 15, 2026. The combined capacity positions the Company to scale its equipment fleet, support increased rental and sales activity, and rebalance operations toward higher-demand, energy-efficient equipment categories.

Details of the Expansion
During the first quarter of 2026, Multi Ways Holdings secured approximately 6,453 square meters (~69,460 square feet) of additional industrial space in Singapore, structured across two leases:

• Approximately 3,450 square meters under a three-year lease, providing long-term operational stability; and
• Approximately 3,003 square meters under a one-year lease, providing scalable short-term capacity.

In addition, the Company secured a separate facility comprising over 80,000 square feet of combined sheltered warehouse space and open yard area on the following terms:

• Monthly rental: S$108,800 (approximately US$80,000 at current exchange rates); and
• Lease tenure: Five years, commencing April 15, 2026.

Purpose and Utilization
The new capacity will be utilized to:

• Support storage and staging of an expanded equipment fleet, including the Company's growing rental inventory;
• Provide dedicated capacity for hybrid and EV machinery;
• Facilitate maintenance, refurbishment, and operational turnaround activity; and
• Accommodate increased rental and sales volumes.

The expansion responds to three reinforcing dynamics shaping the global construction equipment sector: elevated oil prices, which continue to weigh on demand for diesel-powered machinery; a current slowdown in the Company's Middle East operations; and sustained end-market demand for cost-efficient, environmentally sustainable equipment across Singapore and the broader ASEAN region. By concentrating additional capacity in Singapore, Multi Ways is positioning its operational infrastructure closer to its highest-growth customer base and to the hybrid and EV fleet categories that the Company expects to drive its next phase of revenue growth.

"This expansion is the operational backbone for where our business is going. Demand patterns in construction equipment have shifted — customers want cleaner, lower-operating-cost machines, and they want them in markets where project pipelines are accelerating," said Mr. James Lim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Multi Ways. "By anchoring additional capacity in Singapore and structuring the lease commitments to balance long-term stability with short-term flexibility, we are building the fleet infrastructure to meet that demand while keeping our commitments disciplined. The hybrid and EV opportunity is real, and we intend to capture it."
