C-Hawk Boosts Southeast Asia Capacity With Malaysia, Vietnam Expansion

KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 (Bernama) -- C-Hawk Technology, a global manufacturer of components, assemblies and systems for the semiconductor and health imaging industries, has expanded its Southeast Asia manufacturing footprint with new facilities in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

In a statement, the company said the investments strengthen its regional manufacturing capacity and capabilities, enabling support for semiconductor customers through localised production, improved supply chain resilience and faster time-to-market.

“By expanding our regional footprint, we have added new capabilities and increased capacity, enabling greater agility and faster scaling to meet customers’ needs, while continuing to uphold the high-quality standards our customers expect.

“This expansion was well-timed, as we were able to transition into the factories and have our customers qualify them in time to support the current semiconductor ramp,” said C-Hawk Group of Companies Chief Executive Officer, Chase Zunino.

The Johor Bahru facility spans approximately 200,000 square feet across two adjacent buildings, enhancing the company’s capabilities in precision plastics manufacturing and cleanroom assembly.

The site also introduces perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) tube bending as a core capability and currently employs over 300 workers, with plans to expand to more than 400 by the end of 2026, reflecting its ongoing investment in Southeast Asia manufacturing operations.

Meanwhile, the Ho Chi Minh City facility, spanning 96,000 square feet, strengthens manufacturing diversification and supply chain capabilities in the region.

The Vietnam site specialises in contract manufacturing of complex modules and full system builds, as well as ultra-high-purity orbital welding for semiconductor gas delivery systems.

Beyond increasing production capacity, the company also supports the development of local advanced manufacturing ecosystems through partnerships with regional universities and community outreach programmes focused on workforce and engineering talent development.
