The expansion and modernization investment of EUR 4.3 million increases capacity, quality, and efficiency. It also increased the production area by nearly 50%. The Johor Bahru facility specializes in electronics manufacturing and complex box-build manufacturing with one-stop-shop principles. It employs 170 people and has a 6,150 m² production area.
"We are excited to unveil the newly expanded and modernized Johor Bahru facility," said Ms. Maiju Lepomäki, Deputy Head of Mission, Embassy of Finland in Malaysia. "This investment reflects the strong relationship between Finland and Malaysia and the positive business environment in Malaysia.
