WINNER SKY TECHNOLOGY CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING OF NEW MANUFACTURING FACILITY IN PENANG

PENANG, Malaysia, June 18 (Bernama) -- Winner Sky Technology Sdn. Bhd. officially opened its new 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Batu Kawan, Penang on 4 June 2026, marking a significant step in the company’s growth trajectory. The expansion — which triples the company’s production footprint and anchors a total investment commitment of RM70 million over five years — underscores Winner Sky Technology’s confidence in Malaysia as a long-term base for high-value electronics manufacturing. The company, which currently employs approximately 150 people, plans to grow its workforce to more than 450 over the same period. 

The grand opening was officiated by YAB Chow Kon Yeow, Chief Minister of Penang, and attended by Mr. Muhammad Ghaddaffi Sardar Mohamed, Director of MIDA Penang; Mr. Lam Yin Kee, Chairman of Alltronics Holdings Limited, Hong Kong; and Mr. Eric Lam Chee Tai, Chief Executive Officer of Winner Sky Technology Malaysia. The event brought together distinguished guests from government agencies, industry partners, customers, suppliers, and the local business community.

Established in 2019, Winner Sky Technology has grown from a modest operation into a trusted Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider, serving customers across industrial electronics, energy control systems, and the Internet-of-Things (IoTs). Headquartered in Hong Kong with manufacturing operations across China, Vietnam, and now Malaysia, the company’s decision to expand significantly in Penang reflects its long-term commitment to the country’s talent and industrial ecosystem. 

The new facility is equipped with the latest Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production lines, integrated Smart Factory systems, and Industry 4.0 capabilities, significantly enhancing the company’s production capacity and positioning it to deliver high-quality, innovative electronic manufacturing solutions to customers worldwide.

YAB Chow Kon Yeow stated, “Winner Sky Technology’s commitment to expansion demonstrates confidence not only in the company’s own growth prospects, but also in Penang’s ability to support that growth over the long term. The Penang State Government, through InvestPenang and our federal partners, remains committed to facilitating investments, strengthening industry partnerships, and ensuring that Penang remains an attractive destination for both global and domestic investors.”

Welcoming the expansion, Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, CEO of MIDA, said: “Winner Sky Technology’s decision to anchor a major expansion in Malaysia is a strong endorsement of what this country offers — a skilled workforce, a competitive industrial ecosystem, and a government that is firmly committed to enabling quality investment. This is precisely the kind of high-value, technologyintensive foreign investment (FI) that Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030 is designed to attract and retain. Beyond the capital investment, what stands out here is the genuine commitment to local workforce development, supply chain integration, and technology transfer — the building blocks of sustainable industrial growth. MIDA will continue to work closely with investors like Winner Sky Technology to ensure Malaysia remains a preferred destination for advanced manufacturing.”

Speaking on the company’s vision for its Malaysian operations, CEO Mr. Eric Lam said: “Our commitment to this country is total. We want to hire Malaysian engineers, Malaysian technicians, Malaysian operators, and Malaysian managers. We believe the sustainable way to build a world-class manufacturing facility is to invest deeply in the local community, learn the culture, and create high-skill, high-value careers right here in Batu Kawan.

“Our investment does not stop at our factory doors. True partnership means building together. We are fully committed to growing alongside the local economy by actively sourcing from Malaysian vendors, component suppliers, and service providers. By integrating Penang’s robust local supply chain into our global network, we are not just creating a standalone factory — we are nurturing a thriving ecosystem where local businesses succeed alongside us.”

Mr. Foong Chee Leong, General Manager of Winner Sky Technology, expressed his appreciation to employees, customers, suppliers, and government agencies for their continued support.

“This facility represents more than an investment in equipment and infrastructure. It reflects our confidence in Malaysia’s talent, our commitment to manufacturing excellence, and our vision of building a sustainable, world-class EMS company. We are especially proud that our products are 100% made by Malaysians — supported by a dedicated workforce that includes experienced professionals and members of the local community. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to creating quality employment, developing local talent, and contributing to Malaysia’s manufacturing competitiveness.”

Winner Sky Technology expects the new facility to drive substantial business growth. Through increased production capacity, operational efficiency, and higher-value manufacturing services, the company projects a roughly threefold increase in revenue over the coming years.

The opening further strengthens Penang’s standing as a leading destination for advanced manufacturing and highlights the state’s continued attractiveness for hightechnology investment. The expansion aligns squarely with Malaysia’s ambitions under the NIMP 2030 to accelerate industrial digitalisation, build supply chain resilience, and promote high-value manufacturing as a cornerstone of sustainable economic growth.
