Ultra Clean Holding announces the inauguration of its new manufacturing facility in Pulau Pinang with an investment of RM250 million, the new facility underscores UCT’s steadfast commitment to business continuity, customer satisfaction, and environmental stewardship.
The construction of the facility, executed in phases, began in September 2020. The first phase covered 300,000 square feet, focusing on weldments, frames, and modules. The second phase, started in early 2022, added another 250,000 square feet, boosting vertical integration capabilities. With the recent acquisition of nine additional acres of land in mid 2023, plans for a third phase are underway, promising to extend manufacturing capacities and vertical integration opportunities later this year.
Upon completion of all phases, UCT projects an additional revenue potential of USD600 to USD800 million. This expansion not only aims to boost local employment — growing from zero employees in 2020 to over 600 today — but also to increase economic contributions to the region, strengthen community engagement, and enhance business continuity. UCT’s dedication to sustainability is evident in the facility’s energy-efficient design, utilising solar power and maximising natural light to minimise environmental impact.
