February 02,2026 ,KUALA LUMPUR—BateriHub, recognised as the First and Largest Direct-Owned Car Battery Retailer by Branch Count and Floor Area, has surpassed 200 direct-owned branches nationwide, reinforcing its leadership in Malaysia’s automotive aftermarket sector.
The ASEAN Records recognition was formally presented during BateriHub’s Annual Dinner on 29 January 2026 at JioSpace, Petaling Jaya, attended by approximately 420 guests.
The expansion is supported by official recognition from ASEAN Records, which has awarded BateriHub the approved title and category: First and Largest Direct-Owned Car Battery Retailer by Branch Count and Floor Area, covering 200 branches with a combined floor area of 340,875.68 sq ft. The recognition reflects the company’s operational scale and infrastructure footprint, rather than serving as the sole focus of the announcement.
“At this scale, growth is no longer about opening stores quickly; it’s about whether service quality holds when demand spikes or when customers are stranded outside major cities,” said Kok Wai Kit- Co-Founder & MD of BateriHub. “Operating a direct-owned network allows us to standardise training, deploy technicians faster, and keep decisions close to the ground. Crossing 200 stores matters because it widens access to dependable assistance, not because of the number alone.”
“Reaching 200 branches is not the result of one strategy or one team,” said Wong Wai Loong- Co-Founder & MD, BateriHub. “It is the outcome of logistics, operations, technicians, customer service, and support teams all moving in the same direction over many years. The focus now is not just to grow bigger, but to grow better, in quality, sustainability, and people development.”
As of January 2026, BateriHub serves more than 500 service areas across 11 states, including the Klang Valley and secondary regions such as Kedah, Terengganu, and Kelantan. This expanded footprint strengthens the company’s ability to support motorists beyond urban centres, particularly in areas where timely roadside battery replacement has traditionally been limited.
The company operates 200 branches, employs over 460 staff, and has served more than 1.0 million customers to date. It has also recorded 70,000+ positive customer reviews across Google, Facebook, and e-commerce platforms.
BateriHub attributes its growth to three core factors. Its 100% direct-owned operating model allows the company to maintain consistent service quality, pricing, and brand standards across all branches. This is reinforced by sustained investment in people, systems, and training, ensuring teams operate with a uniform, customer-first mindset. Finally, a data-driven approach to site expansion and operational execution has enabled the business to scale quickly while remaining sustainable.
“Scaling a retail network is not just about footprint, but about discipline,” said Stan Singh- Head of Media and Councillor, Malaysia Retail Chain Association (MRCA). “What stands out in BateriHub’s growth is its ability to maintain centralised control while expanding rapidly, which is often the hardest balance for multi-branch operators to achieve.”
