LYON, FRANCE – Éolane is launching a new subsidiary in Penang, Malaysia, which will include a new factory to better serve its customers as closely as possible to their markets, especially those of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

Éolane Malaysia's new factory is planned to open at the end of the year, and will join Intel, Hewlett Packard (now Keysight Technologies and Agilent Technologies), Robert Bosch, AMD, Litronix (now Osram Opto Semiconductors), Hitachi (now Renesas), Clarion and National Semiconductor at Kulim Hi-tech Park.

The company said the new facility in Penang will benefit customers by offering optimized sourcing of electronic components thanks to its geographical proximity to OEMs manufacturing in Southeast Asia.

Several customers have already confirmed their orders at this new site, with production starting in January 2024, Éolane said.
