The data were collected using the disproportionate stratified random sampling approach. measurement model, structural model and moderator analysis were employed to test the relationships between innovation, innovative performance and production performance with the moderating effect of year of establishment. The results showed that innovation are related to product innovation, process innovation and organizational innovation have a significant influence on innovative performance. In addition, there is evidence that innovation related to product innovation, process innovation and organizational innovation also have a significant effect on production performance. However, marketing innovation does not have a significant relationship with innovative performance and the relationship between marketing innovation and production performance is not supported. Furthermore, the year of establishment of organization moderates the relationship between innovation and innovative performance. Also, this year of establishment moderates the relationship between innovation and production performance. Specifically, this study found that the moderating role of year of establishment with a high year of establishment (11 years and above) has a positive relationship between organizational innovation and innovative performance, whereas low year of innovation and production performance. The results imply that manufacturing., performance and production performance.
