NXP Semiconductors Breaks Ground on New Factory in Malaysia

NXP Semiconductors celebrated the groundbreaking of its new assembly and test factory in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, an expansion of the company's existing A&T site. Adding approximately 500,000 square feet of production space, the facility will expand NXP's current operations in Malaysia, which is dedicated to supporting the assembly and testing of NXP's broad product portfolio. Upon completion of the new factory, the total site will encompass around 900,000 square feet of production space. The factory is expected to begin ramping production in the first quarter of 2028, with the site's overall output projected to more than double once fully operational. The added A&T capacity will help support future growth across NXP's manufacturing ecosystem, including expected output from the VSMC joint venture in Singapore and the ESMC joint venture in Dresden, Germany.
