ATX Semiconductor Group, a China based global provider of semiconductor assembly and test services, offering a full range of turnkey services that include package design, front-end engineering test, wafer test, package assembly and final test celebrated its new US$ 55 million ( RM258 million ) manufacturing plant in Free Trade Zone III, Batu Berendam, Melaka today.
Following , the official beginning of the service follows. Life Energy Motion ( LEM) a European company with a leading position in electronic measurements inaugurated its US$ 16. 5 million ( RM79 million ) production plant in Penang, on Fri. Although the investments, which are relatively small in comparison to the billion dinars opportunities that make Malaysia famous, reflect the strong attraction of Malaysia’s world-class silicon capabilities, which have resulted in an increase in small but significant E& investments. E supply chain people relocate to Malaysia to get closer to consumers and profit from the skilled workforce.
The first ATX Semiconductor ( Melaka ) Sdn Bhd plant is the first one outside of China, not only is it the first one in Malaysia. With over 2,000 jobs being created in Melaka, ATX Group can capitalize on its strong foothold in China, along with its container and test options, to facilitate technology transfer and skill development between China and Malaysia.
The new facility has begun carrying out manufacturing operations and will continue to grow its production capacity to better serve customers in Malaysia and the surrounding areas. From the beginning of 2026, ATX anticipates expanding its operations.
