Unigen Has Broken Ground on 56,000 Square-Foot Manufacturing Site in Kulim Hi-Tech Park Near Penang, Malaysia

Unigen Corporation has broken ground on a new 56,000 square-foot manufacturing site in Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP) near Penang, Malaysia.

The facility is designed to expand Unigen’s production capacity as the company gears up in anticipation of significant growth with new and existing customers. The new site will be initially optimized for high-density SSDs and AI modules, with plans to also staff up on R&D capabilities.

With an initial investment of RM100 million and the creation of about 400 new jobs, Unigen expects the new facility will be fully operational by the summer of 2025.

Located on just over a 2 acre plot, the new site also offers room for future expansion, aligning with Unigen’s long-term growth objectives. The new facility’s location is just 30 minutes from Coraza Systems, a company within the Unigen Group that specializes in sheet metal, which will enable seamless vertical integration on larger system and box builds. Additionally, with over 50 multi-national companies operating in KHTP today, the company is able to leverage the extensive infrastructure, ecosystem and supply chain.

In line with firm’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, the company is working closely with local authorities to ensure that the new facility is built with a sustainable footprint.

“Unigen is committed to providing bullet-proof supply chain continuity to our global customer base, while staying ahead of growing demand,” said Paul W. Heng, founder and CEO. “We are excited to break ground at KHTP, a strategic location to advance our goal of geographical diversification and expansion to align with our business contingency plans.”
