Finnish electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider Scanfil is expanding its operations in Malaysia with a EUR 4.3 million investment in its Johor Bahru facility. This move follows the company’s acquisition of SRX in October 2024, which included factories in Malaysia and Australia.
The expansion aims to boost production capacity and enhance quality control with the installation of new surface-mount technology (SMT) and through-hole technology (THT) lines.
“Currently, SRX Malaysia has four SMT lines, and the new modern SMT and THT lines will significantly increase capacity and improve quality control,” said Christian Kesten, Scanfil’s Vice President of Asian Operations, in a press release.
The Johor Bahru facility spans 5,000 square meters and employs over 170 people, specializing in complex box-build manufacturing. The upgrades will begin in February 2025, with expanded production expected in the latter half of the year.
This investment reinforces Scanfil’s commitment to the Southeast Asian market and aligns with increasing global demand for high-quality electronics manufacturing.
“Our investment reflects the strong demand from our customers and our confidence in Malaysia as a key production hub,” Kesten added.
Scanfil serves as a manufacturing partner for customers in industries such as industrial, energy and cleantech, and medtech and life sciences. They offer a full range of services throughout a product’s life cycle, from research and development to manufacturing and logistics.
