Introduction

Flashback to more than a decade ago, Aemulus was first established in 2004 – sitting along the stretch of shophouses in Krystal Point, Bayan Lepas, Penang. Ever since then, Aemulus has been designing and developing Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and Test and Measuring Instruments (TMI) for the semiconductor industry. As a design house, Aemulus architects and markets Semiconductor Testers and ATE, with a primary focus on Radio Frequency (RF) and Mixed-Signal Semiconductor Test markets, followed by Automotive and Lighting Markets.

Aemulus strives to accommodate to the vast needs of customers by offering customisation of sort rather than the straightforward solution of being in its generic form. This boils down to the perfection Aemulus seeks to keep customers at their best.

In 2015, Aemulus was publicly listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. In 2020, Aemulus Base was finally constructed – an iconic red-bricks-centred and sustainable green building in Penang’s Free Trade Zone (FTZ). This was the sprouting bud of ESG that essentially became Aemulus’s central focus.

In 2021, the construction of Aemulus’s first China factory in Jiashan, China is underway. To top it off, Aemulus will accelerate the company’s ESG pledge with increased external collaboration and involvement with like-minded organisations.
