"In fact, to cope with the growing demand of MRO projects, Airod is planning two more new hanger facilities within the next two to three years."

At present, AIROD has 6 hangars.

so, does Malaysia has a company such like United Technology Corporation or some company that only focus on military product?

To my knowledge, there isn't any aerospace company in Malaysia that is purely military-oriented. Most companies I know of, like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, SME and AIROD, etc. also have a share in commercial aviation. Naval wise, our ships are mostly built by foreign companies like the British Yarrow Shipbuilders (now BAe), or DCNS, with few being ordered from Malysian builders. Land-wise, I'm not so sure, but i'm guessing not.
