What happens when a fire emergency occurs? The best time to answer that question is before it happens. Kirby Southeast Asia recently conducted its second internal Firefighting and Rescue Emergency Drill of 2026 at the Kirby SEA factory, bringing together approximately 150 employees and contractors. The drill allowed our teams to put emergency procedures into practice, from raising the alarm and evacuating safely to firefighting, rescue, and coordinating the response on site. More importantly, it was a chance to learn, practice, and identify where
At Kirby, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐲 starts with the people behind every project. Our annual health check-up is one of the ways we support the wellbeing of our people, from our office teams to our colleagues on the factory floor. Through regular health screening, we encourage our employees to stay informed about their health and take care of themselves, so they can continue doing what they do best. Because every strong project is built by a strong team.

It’s encouraging to see the industry’s continued focus on delivering projects faster, smarter, and with greater certainty. If you’re planning your next industrial facility, warehouse, manufacturing
When we think about nature conservation, we often picture forests and wildlife. But protecting nature also starts with how we build. Every construction project leaves an environmental footprint. That’s why smarter decisions made before construction begins can make a meaningful difference. At Kirby Southeast Asia, our Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) solutions help support more responsible construction by: • Optimizing steel usage through efficient engineering • Minimizing material waste with precision fabrication • Reducing on-site activities through prefabrication • Shortening construction schedules to lessen site disruption This World Nature
