Just 8-minute drive from EVCC™ Pedas RSA, Nestlé Malaysia operates the largest MILO® manufacturing facility in the world — the Chembong Complex. With an annual output exceeding 108,000 metric tonnes, this 43-acre facility serves as a global production hub for MILO® powder and 3-in-1 sachets exported across Asia, Oceania, and Africa.
But more than a global food landmark, the Chembong MILO® plant acts as a strategic catalyst for EVCC™ Pedas RSA — enabling consistent weekday traffic, ESG alignment, and brand activation opportunities at Malaysia’s most innovative rest stop.

5 Reasons It Matters to EVCC™ Pedas RSA
1. Weekday Footfall That Most RSAs Don’t Get
With nearly 1,000 daily workers, suppliers, and logistics teams moving in and out of the plant — Monday to Friday — Chembong injects a steady flow of non-tourism traffic into the Pedas-Rembau corridor. EVCC™ Pedas RSA, with its dual access (PLUS highway + local town road), is perfectly positioned to convert this into retail, EV charging, and convenience traffic during off-peak hours.
2. Instant Brand Magnetism with MILO®
No brand evokes Malaysian nostalgia quite like MILO®. EVCC™ Pedas RSA can leverage this local connection by introducing MILO®-branded pop-up stalls, “Energy Stop” kiosks, or even school-tour packages in collaboration with Nestlé. This not only builds traffic but also reinforces Pedas RSA’s identity as family-friendly and community-driven.
3. Green Mobility Meets Green Industry
Nestlé’s biomass boiler project — designed to cut 14,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent annually — aligns perfectly with the low-carbon goals of EVCC™. As Nestlé and other FMCG firms move toward electric logistics fleets, EVCC™ Pedas RSA becomes a natural high-powered charging point along the Southern Industrial Route. With Tesla and Gentari chargers, the synergy is real.
4. Employee Spending Power
A workforce of 845 people living or commuting around Rembau and Pedas generates demand for lunch options, after-work meals, prayer facilities, and groceries. EVCC™ Pedas RSA is designed to meet this everyday demand, from its climate-controlled food court and Surau to 24-hour convenience retail and clean public amenities.
5. School Trips & Food Tourism Potential
The MILO® plant frequently receives educational tours and industry delegations. By positioning EVCC™ Pedas RSA as a natural extension of the MILO® experience — offering local snacks, merchandise, and branded content — the RSA becomes more than a stop: it becomes a destination.
Conclusion: One Megabrand, One Megahub
MILO® fuels nations. EVCC™ Pedas RSA fuels the future of highway travel. Together — located just 8 minutes apart — they unlock a high-value intersection of industry, sustainability, and community.
For tenants, brands, and travelers, this is where nostalgia meets next-gen mobility.
