SP Manufacturing (SPM), a leader in Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS), is strengthening its global presence with two major moves: opening a new manufacturing facility in Senai, Malaysia, and successfully acquiring Ideal Jacobs Corporation.
Malaysia Expansion: Enhancing Operations and Supporting Growth
The state-of-the-art Senai facility, which opened in October, will enhance the company's operational resilience to meet growing customer demands in medical devices, industrial machinery, and automotive electronics.
Equipped with advanced automation and strict quality controls, the factory enables SPM to deliver mission-critical products with precision and reliability while supporting Malaysia's vision of becoming a leader in high-value, high-tech industries.
"This facility reflects our commitment to serving our global customers while participating in a key location of the global supply chain network," said Jackson Tan, Global Business Development Director of SP Manufacturing. The plant's capabilities include cable harness assembly, PCB assembly, and box-build solutions.
The Senai facility is equipped with comprehensive manufacturing capabilities, including:
- Functional testing
- In-circuit testing and automated optical inspection (AOI)
- State-of-the-art cleaning processes
- Rigorous inspection protocols
- Rapid prototyping and expert assembly processes
Ideal Jacobs Acquisition: Expanding Capabilities
In a parallel move, SPM also acquired Ideal Jacobs Corporation, which is known for its human-machine interface, printed electronics and die-cut solutions. The move will expand SPM's engineering capabilities and provide access to a diversified client portfolio, including leading names in the medical, industrial, semiconductor, and telecommunications sectors.
Comprehensive Design Support in the U.S.
SPM continues to provide comprehensive engineering and design services for its U.S. customers using industry-standard software for PCB and electrical design. These services help clients with their new product introductions (NPI), early supplier involvement (ESI), and DFx processes, optimising costs and reducing time to market.
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Singapore, SP Manufacturing has built its reputation serving mission-critical industries like medical, automotive, and aerospace. The company specialises in cable harnesses, PCB assemblies, and box-build products.
