US-based AM Technical Solutions is investing significantly in semiconductor markets throughout Asia.
The company has recently announced expansion plans in India, and is now expanding its presence in Malaysia.
The expanded presence in Malaysia will be in the form of a new office in Penang, Malaysia. "[This] will enable us to support our semiconductor customers by providing the specific resources they need to support capital projects," the company stated.
"Additionally, we are helping the local contractors on the ground in Malaysia understand our customers’ needs to ensure project requirements are satisfied on tight timelines," the company added.
The Malaysian market
Malaysia's semiconductor boom is centred in the northern state of Penang.
With semiconductor projects being AM's core business they stand to be able to help both new facilities and expansion projects. For example,
"For example, we are currently supporting a backend facility in Kulim, where semiconductor activity is bustling," the company stated.
"We are primarily focusing on providing commissioning, construction management, and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC) to validate that projects are completed according to industry requirements through a first-time-right approach," the statement explained.
"By establishing a new office in Malaysia, we can maintain visibility into each project and provide prompt solutions to resolve any issues."
“When asked by our customers to support semiconductor projects in Malaysia, we gladly agreed to help,” said Sandeep Davé, Chief Business Officer. “Our proven experience will enable us to build a local pool of talent to support our customers in Malaysia and provide a cost-efficient solution for each project.”
