Scanfil, a leading provider of electronics manufacturing services (EMS), announced a €4.3 million investment in SRX Malaysia to expand its production capacity and meet the growing demand for its services.
“Currently, SRX Malaysia has four SMT lines, and the new modern SMT and THT lines will significantly increase capacity and improve quality control,” says Christian Kesten, Scanfil’s VP of Asian Operations. “From our previous talks with customers, we knew there was a possible demand for Malaysian manufacturing in our customer base. The need for investment confirms this perception. At the same time, with this investment, we are adjusting the factory layout and warehouse management for the future.”
Located in Johor Bahru, the Malaysian factory specializes in complex box build. With a production area of approximately 5,000 m² and employing around 170 people, the expansion will further enhance SRX Malaysia’s capabilities to serve its growing customer base.
"I am delighted to see that our strategic acquisition of SRX has been positively received by our customers. We will continue to develop SRX operations in a flexible manner to meet customer demand,” states Scanfil’s CEO Christophe Sut.
The investment will begin in February 2025 and is expected to be operational in the second half of the year.
