August 26, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 RIGOL Technologies Co., Ltd., a company specialising in design, development, production, and sales of electronic test and measurement instruments. RIGOL’s products are recognised globally for its high cost-performance ratio and innovative technology, and they are widely used in education, research, industrial manufacturing, and communications. The company today announced the establishment of its subsidiary company in Penang, Malaysia, which is the first overseas manufacturing plant, R&D centre, and service centre. The new facility RIGOL TECHNOLOGIES (MALAYSIA) SDN BHD is situated on 90,040 square feet of land with a factory footprint of 78,024 square feet.<\/p>\n

With a total investment of over RM100 million, the new facility is divided into two main phases. The first phase, consisting of multiple production lines, has already commenced operations, focusing on the production of electronic test and measurement instruments. The second phase will erect additional production lines and concentrate on establishing an advanced R&D centre and a comprehensive overseas service centre to support RIGOL’s ongoing commitment to innovation and customer service.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive Officer of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, congratulated RIGOL on the opening of its new manufacturing facility, stating, ” We’re super excited that RIGOL chose Malaysia for its first manufacturing plant outside of China! This investment not only creates high-value jobs, but it’s also a huge opportunity for Malaysia to move up the supply chain ladder. The most important distinction here is how it perfectly aligns with the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, which is all about driving innovation and growth in the E&E sector. At MIDA, we’re fully committed to backing developments like this that take Malaysia\u2019s manufacturing sector to the next level. We’re looking forward to a productive partnership with RIGOL and hope other industrial specialists will consider Malaysia as their investment destination. Together, we can drive mutual growth and continue to enhance Malaysia’s high-tech ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dato\u2019 Loo Lee Lian, Chief Executive Officer of InvestPenang (representing Chief Minister of Penang, Right Honorable Mr. Chow Kon Yeow) stated, \u201cPenang, also known as the Silicon Valley of the East, has over half-a-century of industrialisation experience, making it a natural hub for attracting industry players within the E&E sector. Its established infrastructure, skilled workforce, and strategic location have consistently drawn leading global companies to set up and expand their operations here, reinforcing the state\u2019s reputation as a premier destination for high-tech manufacturing and innovation. With that, I am confident RIGOL will be able to leverage on Penang\u2019s robust industrial ecosystem to continue to uphold its mission of \u2018enabling technology exploration, empowering possibilities and more\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr. Wang Ning, the Chief Executive Officer of RIGOL Technologies Co., Ltd., stated, ” RIGOL TECHNOLOGIES (MALAYSIA) SDN. BHD. not only represents a significant milestone in our global expansion strategy, but also underscores our dedication to delivering exceptional service to our international customers. By enhancing our service capabilities in overseas markets, we are positioning ourselves to better meet the growing demands of our clients, while simultaneously ensuring that we remain agile and responsive. Furthermore, this initiative allows us to maintain steady growth within the industry. By creating 150 job opportunities, RIGOL Technologies aims to nurture and develop a new generation of professionals in related technological fields. This is an exciting time for RIGOL, as we continue to build on our legacy of innovation and excellence.”<\/p>\n
