On June 12, 2025, SIGLENT held a grand opening ceremony for its first full-process overseas production base in Penang, Malaysia. Themed “Synergizing Visions, Engineering Futures”, the event was attended by over 40 distinguished guests from government and business sectors including YB Jason H'ng Mooi Lye, Penang State Exco for Local Government and Town and Country Planning; H.E. Mr. Zhou You Bin, Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Penang; Datuk Yeoh Soon Hin, Chairman of the Penang Port Commission & Deputy Chairman of the Tourism Malaysia; and representatives from key government agencies, partners and suppliers.
As SIGLENT’s first full-process overseas production base, the Penang facility has completed its Phase I of construction and installed core manufacturing equipment. It integrates R&D, production, after-sales service, supply chain management, and operations, establishing a stable and comprehensive operational structure.
Mr. Qin Ke, the Chairman and President of SIGLENT, highlighted that the Penang base is a key step in SIGLENT’s global strategy in his speech. With an initial investment of around RM 10 million, the Penang facility has successfully completed the construction of its production setup and localizing the supply chain. A Phase II investment of around RM 100 million is planned to further expand the facility with additional product lines and supporting equipment, significantly enhancing SIGLENT’s mass production capabilities.
“Penang was chosen for its strategic location by the Strait of Malacca, its mature electronics industry ecosystem, highly skilled workforce, and strong government support for technological advancement and innovation”, Mr. Qin Ke noted.
YB Jason H'ng Mooi Lye, Penang State Exco for Local Government and Town and Country Planning, emphasized that SIGLENT’s decision to establish this milestone facility in Penang affirms the state’s global reputation as a hub for high-tech manufacturing. He believed that the grand opening of SIGLENT's first overseas full-process production base in Penang would strengthen the state's electronics value chain and spur economic growth.
H.E. Mr. Zhou You Bin, Consul General of the people’s Republic of China in Penang, expressed his pleasure in witnessing a Chinese tech manufacturing company launch a new chapter in Malaysia. As China and Malaysia enter a “Golden 50 Years” of bilateral relations, he expressed hope that SIGLENT will seize the opportunity to grow boldly in Penang and become a flagship for economic and technological cooperation between the two countries, deepening mutual friendship and win-win collaboration.
Datuk Yeoh Soon Hin, Chairman of the Penang Port Commission & Deputy Chairman of the Tourism Malaysia, also warmly welcomed SIGLENT, assuring future support in ensuring efficient logistics, port accessibility, and regulatory coordination.
During the ceremony, Mr. Qin Ke outlined SIGLENT’s long-term vision in Malaysia, emphasizing that the new subsidiary is more than just a manufacturing site — it is set to become a full-chain overseas operations base. In addition to advancing trade cooperation, SIGLENT plans to actively collaborate with local universities through joint labs and talent development programs, driving innovation and contributing to the upgrading of the local electronics industry.
From early cooperation with Amazon to the establishment of subsidiaries in the U.S. and Germany in 2014 and in Japan in 2022, SIGLENT has remained committed to building a global manufacturing and supply network. The launch of the Malaysian facility marks a major step forward in this journey. Looking ahead, SIGLENT will continue expanding its overseas manufacturing footprint, with localized bases in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, to enhance global supply capabilities for its core products.
