Texas Instruments, the Lake Highlands-based tech manufacturer, is expanding its operations abroad to Malaysia with two new factories added on to existing sites.
The assembly and test factory sites will be located in Kuala Lumpur and Melaka. Texas Instruments already has an assembly and test factory in Kuala Lumpur on 18 acres of land. A recent purchase of the adjacent building would increase jobs in the area, and the new factory would be connected to the existing factory.
Construction is expected to start later this year, with production to begin as early as 2025, according to the press release.
On the coast in Melaka, a six-level test factory is in the works and will feature more than 400,000 square feet of cleanroom space with construction projected for 2025.
The new factories are reported to test “hundreds of millions of analog and embedded processing chips daily that will go into electronics everywhere – from renewable energy sources to electric vehicles,” according to the press release.
