SINGAPORE – SP Manufacturing has expanded its global presence with two major moves: opening a new manufacturing facility in Senai, Malaysia, and successfully acquiring Ideal Jacobs, a Hong Kong EMS provider.

Malaysia Expansion

The company said its new facility in Senai, which opened in October, will enhance its operational resilience to meet growing customer demands in medical devices, industrial machinery and automotive electronics. The plant's capabilities include cable harness assembly, PCB assembly, and box-build solutions.

The Senai facility is equipped with comprehensive manufacturing capabilities, including:

• Functional testing
• In-circuit testing and automated optical inspection (AOI)
• State-of-the-art cleaning processes
• Rigorous inspection protocols
• Rapid prototyping and expert assembly processes

"This facility reflects our commitment to serving our global customers while participating in a key location of the global supply chain network," said Jackson Tan, global business development director, SP Manufacturing.

Ideal Jacobs Acquisition

In a parallel move, SPM also acquired Ideal Jacobs Corp., which is known for its human-machine interface, printed electronics and die-cut solutions. The move will expand SPM's engineering capabilities and provide access to a diversified client portfolio, including leading names in the medical, industrial, semiconductor, and telecommunications sectors.
