Wiwynn Corporation, a Taiwan-based component provider for hyperscale data centres, has commenced its phase II development on a server printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) plant for cloud data centers in Johor, Malaysia.
The group made its debut when it introduced its phase I – server rack integration plant amid the pandemic lockdown in Dec 2021. With this announcement on its phase II, Malaysia will be one of Wiwynn’s hubs that provide complete services from PCBA to rack integration to address the surging demand from hyperscale data centres.
Dr. Sunlai Chang, President of Wiwynn said “We are excited about the expansion and are looking forward to accelerating growth in Malaysia.” “Johor has the right ecosystem to attract quality investments and I look forward to seeing tremendous success for Wiwynn’s steady and aggressive progress for both plants in just 6 months’ time. I believe that the success will ripple positive socio-economic impacts in Johor.
This expansion project is in line with the National Investment Aspirations (NIA) to make Malaysia a strategic investment hub. MIDA looks forward to working closely with Wiwynn to support the growth of its operations here in Malaysia. We believe this Malaysian plant will springboard Wiwynn to the next level in the region,” said Datuk Arham Abdul Rahman, Chief Executive Officer of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA).
Wiwynn is one of the largest ODM-Direct cloud IT infrastructure providers and has built a close partnership with world-leading cloud service providers. It has achieved impressive growth of USD 1 billion in 2016 and further recorded USD 6.8billion in 2021, showing its strong performance. “The Meta Wiwynn relationship that dates back to 2012, has continued to become stronger over the years. Thank Wiwynn for the deep partnership, deliverance towards our business goals, dedication to pursue continuous improvement, building on the trust and transparency we have established, and finally, also making us better in the process,” said Sandeep Jayaram, Director of Global Supply Chain at Meta. “We will bring in the next-generation technologies and follow the highest Gold standard of Green Building Index (GBI) technology to enable smart manufacturing in the new site to show our commitment to a sustainable environment and operation,” added Dr. Sunlai Chang.
The completion of Wiwynn’s server rack integration plant (phase I) is set in Q1 2023, followed by the PCBA plant (phase II) which is scheduled to be put into operations in 2024. After completion, more than 1,150 job opportunities are expected for the locals.
