Over 37 Years of Trusted Workforce Management, Foreign Worker Recruitment & Regulatory Expertise in Malaysia

Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya Sdn. Bhd. is a licensed private employment agency in Malaysia operating under JTKSM Licence C — the highest authorisation tier for foreign worker recruitment, manpower supply, and labour compliance services in Malaysia.

The Andaraya journey began with the incorporation of Andaraya (M) Sdn. Bhd. on 30 January 1992. What started as a workforce outsourcing and facilities management company has evolved into a leading manpower solutions provider in Malaysia, supporting employers across manufacturing, construction, plantation, logistics, and service industries.

With decades of expertise in foreign worker management, CLQ accommodation compliance, payroll administration, transportation logistics, and workforce lifecycle management, the organisation has developed deep institutional knowledge in managing large-scale labour operations in Malaysia.

In 2018, recruitment operations were formalised under Agensi Pekerjaan Ukhwah Sdn. Bhd., a licensed employment agency regulated by Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia (JTKSM) under the Private Employment Agencies Act 1981.

Effective 1 January 2026, the entity was renamed Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya Sdn. Bhd., strengthening brand alignment and reinforcing its position as a trusted foreign worker recruitment agency in Malaysia committed to compliance, transparency, and responsible hiring practices.
