Enabling the next generation of green-tech and e-mobility products.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Penang, 22 October 2022<\/strong> – Indium Corporation, a US-based global materials supplier to the electronics assembly and semiconductor packaging industries, organised a grand opening for its new 37,500-square-foot manufacturing facility with a special ceremony in Penang today.<\/p>\n

The ceremony celebrated the new facility with a ribbon cutting, lion dance, and comments from company officials, as well as community and industry leaders including the Chief Minister of Penang, YAB Tuan Chow Kon Yeow; Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Datuk Wira Arham bin Abdul Rahman; Chairman of Penang State Trade Industry and Entrepreneur Development Committee, YB Dato\u2019 Haji Abdul Halim Bin Haji Hussain; and Chief Executive Officer of InvestPenang, Dato\u2019 Loo Lee Lian. The ceremony closed with a cultural performance and site tour of the new facility.<\/p>\n

Officiating the grand opening, the Chief Minister of Penang, YAB Tuan Chow Kon Yeow said, \u201cPenang is pleased to be the choice location for Indium Corporation\u2019s new manufacturing facility. The company\u2019s investment decision serves as an acknowledgement of the skilled talent, well-developed infrastructure and resilient environment the state holds. Being widely regarded as one of the major players in the global semiconductor industry, Penang\u2019s robust electrical and electronics (E&E) ecosystem is believed to have paved the way for sustainable industry development, offering a competent platform for the players along the supply chain to participate and thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, Senior Minister and Minister of International Trade and Industry in response to the announcement said, \u201cIndeed, our meeting with Indium Corporation in Washington DC during the Trade and Investment Mission to the United States of America in May 2022 was fruitful. Indium Corporation would serve as a catalyst to attract more players in the advanced soldering materials industry and strengthen the local supply chain. Towards supporting the new company\u2019s growth in Penang, Indium Corporation USA will provide its technical expertise to assist the technical know-how, technology transfer as well as upskilling and reskilling of local talents. This is in line with Malaysia\u2019s New Investment Policy\u2019s fourth strategic thrust which advances the nurturing of innovative, high impact investments, conducive to the creation of high-skilled jobs. This is most imperative to add value and garner positive impact to the economic complexity that defines Malaysia\u2019s long-term growth trajectory. I am confident that this investment will deepen both the Malaysia-US\u2019s strong trade relations and that Malaysia will remain as a preferred investment destination for high quality and sustainable American investments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Datuk Wira Arham Abdul Rahman, CEO of MIDA, expressed \u201cWe welcome Indium Corporation\u2019s presence in Malaysia as it marks the confidence in the continuous sustainable growth of the nation\u2019s economy. Indium Corporation\u2019s footprint in the country will positively provide avenue for the company to explore more high value-added activities with domestic players for mutual benefit outcomes and become an important industry partner to Malaysia in the advanced soldering material industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe establishment of the company\u2019s new manufacturing facility will further solidify Malaysia\u2019s ecosystem and nurture the country\u2019s local supply chain that will contribute to opening new opportunities not only for the metals industry but also for the machinery and equipment (M&E), automotive, E&E and semiconductor industries.\u201d added Datuk Wira Arham.<\/p>\n

Indium Corporation\u2019s President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Ross Berntson commented, \u201cIndium Corporation is proud to continue its more than 40-year history of doing business in Malaysia with the grand opening of our new manufacturing facility in Penang. This new facility will enable us to further support our customers in automotive, semiconductor, power electronics, e-mobility, industrial and computing and other markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
