TAKO โ Malaysia’s Certified Lightning Protection Contractor Since 1979
TAKO (Astatic Technology Sdn Bhd) is a Certified Total Lightning Protection System Service Provider established in Malaysia since 1979, with over 25 years of specialised expertise in complete lightning protection solutions. TAKO operates as a full-service Lightning Protection Contractor in Malaysia โ delivering lightning risk assessments, MS IEC 62305-compliant LPS design and installation, ESE lightning arrester supply, lightning rod supply, surge protection device (SPD) integration, earthing systems, and thunderstorm warning systems for industrial facilities and SMEs across all major Malaysian industrial zones.
TAKO does not sell products off a shelf. Every engagement begins with a professional Lightning Risk Assessment and ends with a fully tested, documented, and certified lightning protection system โ backed by ongoing maintenance support.
There is a meaningful difference between a supplier who sells you a lightning rod and a certified Lightning Protection Contractor who takes responsibility for your facility’s complete protection. TAKO is the second. For over 25 years, we have served Malaysia’s most demanding industrial clients โ from Pasir Gudang’s petrochemical complexes to Penang’s semiconductor fabs, from Shah Alam’s automotive plants to Bintulu’s LNG facilities.
Our role as a Lightning Protection Contractor in Malaysia means we are accountable for the performance of the entire system โ not just the individual component we supplied. We design, install, test, certify, and maintain. We also supply and distribute, as an established Lightning Arrester Supplier, lightning rod supplier, surge protection devices supplier, and authorised Telebahn SPD Distributor in Malaysia.
TAKO’s Complete Lightning Protection Solutions in Malaysia
Every solution listed below is designed, installed, and certified by TAKO as a complete system โ not a standalone product. As a full-service Lightning Protection Contractor in Malaysia, we integrate all components into one coordinated Total Lightning Protection System that meets MS IEC 62305 standards and satisfies DOSH OSHA 1994 requirements.
Lightning Risk Assessment Malaysia
Every TAKO engagement begins here. A professional IEC 62305-2 lightning risk assessment determines your facility’s actual exposure โ quantifying the probability and consequence of lightning strikes before any system is designed. This is the foundation of data-driven lightning protection, not guesswork. TAKO has conducted hundreds of risk assessments across Malaysia’s highest-risk industrial zones.
Lightning Risk Assessment โMS IEC 62305 Lightning Protection System
Malaysia’s mandatory lightning protection standard โ Suruhanjaya Tenaga Circular No. 03/2011 makes MS IEC 62305 compliance compulsory for all buildings. TAKO designs and installs complete 4-part IEC 62305-compliant systems โ covering risk assessment (Part 2), physical protection (Part 3), and electrical system protection (Part 4) โ for factories, high-rises, and industrial complexes Malaysia-wide.
MS IEC 62305 LPS Services โESE Lightning Arrester โ Advanced Air Termination
As a certified Lightning Arrester Supplier in Malaysia, TAKO supplies and installs Early Streamer Emission (ESE) lightning arresters that provide 40โ45% wider protection coverage than conventional rods. Fewer units required for large industrial roofs. Preferred solution for petrochemical plants, port facilities, and large manufacturing warehouses in Pasir Gudang, Shah Alam, and Bintulu.
ESE Lightning Arrester โLightning Rod โ Conventional Air Termination
TAKO is an established lightning rod supplier in Malaysia, providing copper and stainless steel Franklin rods for IEC 62305-compliant conventional lightning protection systems. Ideal for smaller to mid-sized industrial facilities, SME factories, and facilities where conventional rod networks are the most cost-effective solution. Full installation, commissioning, and certification included.
Lightning Rod Solutions โSurge Protection Device (SPD) Malaysia
TAKO is a leading SPD Supplier Malaysia and authorised Telebahn SPD Distributor, supplying and integrating surge protection devices per IEC 61643 for power, data, and telecommunications lines. Protects sensitive PLCs, SCADA systems, instrumentation, and control panels from lightning-induced surges and LEMP โ critical for petrochemical and semiconductor facilities where equipment replacement costs exceed RM millions.
SPD Solutions โEarthing System in Malaysia
A lightning protection system is only as good as its earthing. TAKO designs and installs professional earthing systems per MS IEC 62305-3 โ achieving below-10-Ohm earth resistance across all Malaysian soil types. This covers copper electrode arrays, bentonite soil enhancement for Pasir Gudang and Gebeng’s high-resistivity laterite soils, coke breeze backfill, and full earth resistance testing and certification.
Earthing System Solutions โThunderstorm Warning System Malaysia
Structures and equipment can be protected by an LPS. People cannot. TAKO’s Thunderstorm Warning Systems detect approaching lightning 10โ40 km away and activate site-wide audible and visual alerts โ giving outdoor workers 10โ20 minutes to reach shelter before lightning strikes. Essential for port operations, construction sites, palm oil mills, and outdoor plant areas across Malaysia’s 280+ thunderstorm-days-per-year industrial zones.

Lightning Protection System Price in Malaysia โ What to Expect
What determines Lightning Protection System price in Malaysia?
- Facility size and structural complexity โ larger buildings require more air termination points, longer conductor runs, and deeper earthing systems
- LPS protection level (LPL IโIV) โ higher protection classes require closer rod/mesh spacing and heavier components
- Technology choice โ ESE lightning arresters cost more per unit but fewer units are needed for large roofs
- Soil conditions โ high-resistivity soils in Pasir Gudang and Gebeng require enhancement materials (bentonite, graphite compound) adding to earthing cost
- SPD specification โ IEC 61643 Type 1, 2, or combined arresters vary in cost based on facility electrical system complexity
- Corrosion environment โ coastal industrial zones (Bintulu, Kertih, Port Klang) require stainless steel and coated materials increasing material cost

TAKO as SPD Supplier Malaysia โ Surge Protection for Industrial Facilities
Surge protection is often the most overlooked layer of a lightning protection system โ and the most costly to skip. When lightning strikes near your facility, induced electromagnetic pulses travel through power cables, data lines, and instrumentation โ destroying PLCs, SCADA hardware, VFDs, and control panels worth hundreds of thousands of Ringgit. TAKO, as a certified surge protection devices supplier and authorised Telebahn SPD Distributor in Malaysia, integrates IEC 61643-compliant SPDs into every complete LPS solution we design.
What TAKO Supplies as SPD Supplier Malaysia
- IEC 61643-11 Type 1 SPDs โ installed at main distribution boards to handle direct lightning current (Class I impulse test, 10/350 ยตs waveform)
- IEC 61643-11 Type 2 SPDs โ installed at sub-distribution boards to suppress switching surges and residual lightning surges (Class II, 8/20 ยตs waveform)
- IEC 61643-11 Type 3 SPDs โ point-of-use protection at sensitive equipment terminals (PLC panels, control desks, instrumentation racks)
- IEC 61643-21 Data Line SPDs โ for RS485, Ethernet, Modbus, and fieldbus communication lines in industrial control environments
- IEC 61643-21 Telecom SPDs โ for telephone, fibre interface, and antenna lines exposed to lightning-induced surges
- Telebahn SPD Products โ TAKO is an authorised Telebahn SPD Distributor in Malaysia. Contact us for current Telebahn SPD specifications, stock availability, and pricing.
TAKO’s SPD Integration Advantage: We don’t just supply SPDs. We specify the correct Type 1/2/3 coordination for your facility’s electrical system architecture, install them in the correct locations, verify coordination with the earthing system impedance, and test performance after installation. This is what makes TAKO a surge protection devices supplier โ not just a distributor.
Why TAKO Is Not Just Another Lightning Supplier
Anyone can sell you a lightning rod. Very few can take full responsibility for your facility’s protection โ from first principles of risk assessment through to years of post-installation maintenance. Here is what 25+ years of being Malaysia’s trusted Lightning Protection Contractor actually looks like in practice.
We Start With Risk, Not a Product Catalogue
The first thing TAKO does on any engagement is a lightning risk assessment โ not a product recommendation. We calculate your facility’s actual Ng-based exposure, identify the consequences of an unprotected strike, and design the minimum system that achieves genuine safety. Some facilities need a full ESE and SPD solution. Some need a targeted earthing upgrade. We tell you which โ honestly.
Certified Since 1979 โ 25+ Years of Industrial Experience
TAKO has been working in Malaysia’s lightning protection industry since 1979. Our over 25 years of specialised experience means we have seen what works across Pasir Gudang’s corrosive coastal soils, Penang’s high-density factory clusters, Gebeng’s petrochemical complexity, and Bintulu’s extreme-lightning tropical environment. That experience is what your quotation pays for โ not just the hardware.
Every Layer. One Contractor. One Responsibility.
TAKO installs the ESE lightning arrester, runs the down conductors, builds the earthing system, integrates the SPDs, commissions the Thunderstorm Warning System, and installs the Lightning Strike Counter. One contractor. One design. One certified system. No pointing fingers between separate suppliers when something goes wrong during a DOSH audit or insurance claim.
Data That Survives an Audit
Every system TAKO installs comes with as-built drawings, earth resistance test certificates, strike counter calibration records, commissioning reports, and a maintenance schedule formatted for MS IEC 62305, DOSH OSHA 1994, and ISO 45001 audits. When an insurance adjuster asks why a lightning event did not trigger a claim, our clients have the documentation to answer โ without scrambling.
Transparent Lightning Protection System Price
TAKO provides itemised quotations โ not lump-sum numbers with no explanation. You see the cost of each component, each installation activity, each test, and each certification. No hidden margins on materials. No vague “installation fees.” This is how a Lightning Protection Contractor that stands behind its work presents its Lightning Protection System price โ with nothing to hide.
Malaysia’s Industrial Zones Are Our Home Ground
We know that Pasir Gudang’s laterite soil needs bentonite enhancement. We know that Bintulu’s salt-air demands stainless steel bonding straps. We know that Gebeng’s ATEX-classified areas require explosion-proof components throughout the LPS. This local knowledge is not in a product manual โ it comes from over 25 years of doing the work in these specific environments.
