Exis Tech Sdn. Bhd. Opens Its Newest Production Facility in Negeri Sembilan
Negeri Sembilan, 12 December 2025 – Exis Tech Sdn. Bhd., a semiconductor equipment manufacturer and subsidiary of Hangzhou Changchuan Technology Co. Ltd. (CCTECH), has commenced operations at its second manufacturing facility in Senawang, Negeri Sembilan, marking a significant expansion of its manufacturing footprint in Malaysia.
The Phase 1 facility represents an investment of approximately RM25 million and effectively doubles the company’s existing production floor space. Phase 2 expansion is scheduled to begin in early 2026 and be completed by late 2027, with additional investment of more than RM100 million. Upon full completion, the expanded site will be six times larger than Phase 1 and is projected to create 600 to 800 new skilled jobs over the next two to five years, alongside 50 new personnel to strengthen the group’s global customer service network.
The Phase 1 opening was officiated by YB Tuan Teo Kok Seong, Negeri Sembilan State Assemblyman and Chairman of the State Action Committee for Industrialisation. Also present were dignitaries from the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China, representatives from the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), as well as customers and industry partners.
Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, Chief Executive Officer, MIDA, stated, “Exis Tech’s expansion strengthens Malaysia’s semiconductor ecosystem and reinforces our role in the global value chain. The establishment of advanced IC equipment and chip-testing operations in Negeri Sembilan enhances our national industrial capabilities and supports import substitution in critical technologies.”
“Most importantly, this investment delivers real impact to the rakyat through the creation of high-quality jobs, accelerated skills development, and the strengthening of our national semiconductor talent pool. Aligned with the National Semiconductor Strategy (NSS) and NIMP 2030, MIDA will continue to work closely with Exis Tech and CCTECH to scale innovation, deepen local capabilities, and position Malaysia as a preferred regional hub for semiconductor manufacturing,” he added.
Mr. Zhao Yi, Chairman of CCTECH, said, “The opening of this new Phase 1 facility marks a new chapter in our group’s global expansion, as we seek to become a world-class provider of integrated circuit equipment and chip-testing system solutions. The group’s decision to invest in Malaysia is a testament to the country’s progressive policies focusing on the semiconductor industry and also the abundance of highly skilled workforce. As semiconductor technology continues to evolve, the associated manufacturing challenges have grown even more complex, requiring new methods, materials and machinery. CCTECH is committing half its 5,000-strong global workforce to research and development efforts, in order to overcome these challenges and provide our customers with the most cost-effective solutions.”
“We are very excited to witness the launch of Phase 1 and we look forward to bringing even more products and manufacturing expertise to Malaysia. We hope this will spur greater innovation and propel CCTECH to even greater heights in the near future,” he added.
With the new facility, Exis Tech will serve as CCTECH Group’s principal manufacturing and export base for markets outside of China. The expansion will broaden its local production portfolio, including the integration of Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) machines from fellow CCTECH subsidiary, Singapore Technologies and Instruments Co. Ltd. (STI), further positioning Malaysia as a key node in the group’s global manufacturing and export strategy.
YBhg, Dato’ Haji Najmuddin Sharif bin Sarimon (CEO, INVEST NS), Mr. Lee Heng Lee (CEO, Exis Tech), Ms. Xu Xin (Director, CCTECH), YB Tuan Teo Kok Seong (Chairman, State Action Committee for Industrialisation), Mr. Zhao Yi (Chairman, CCTECH), Mr. Sun Shuqiang (Minister Counsellor – Commercial Affairs, China Embassy), Dato’ Seri Wong Siew Hai (President, Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association) and En.
