ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA – Entech Electronics has announced factory expansions here and in Malaysia, where it is establishing for the first time.

Entech, a contract manufacturer offering PCB assembly, turnkey assembly, prototyping, and bare PCB supply, has begun construction of a new Adelaide factory and HQ, with an anticipated move-in date of April 2024. The factory is being built on a 10,000 sq. m. site, with 4,500 sq. m. under cover, said Entech Group CEO Wayne Hoffman.

“It is a significant factory here in Adelaide… with the capability to take our factory floor space to double what it is at the moment," he said.

The company said that continuous improvement, growth, and a focus on the global supply chain of electronics components and materials has also set the stage for its third manufacturing location and further expansion into Southeast Asia.

The company has a factory in Shenzen, China, and has operated a Singapore supply hub for the past three years, reaching out to businesses in Malaysia in preparation for its latest overseas expansion.

Hoffman said the new Malaysian operation would feature "glue and screw operations" but also the full supply chain of plastics, metalwork, hardware, wiring and harnessing through to finished product.
