Indium Corporation expands Malaysia technical support, adds team members

Press release

Indium Corporation celebrated the grand opening of its newest tech hub and the expansion of its technical support team in Penang, Malaysia, with customers and officials on Monday, Nov. 10.

Indium Corporation's new Malaysia Tech Hub expands the company's physical presence to provide a convenient, regional center for the development of electronics assembly expertise and customer service. The areas of focus for the tech hub include PCB assembly materials, engineered solders and alloys, and semiconductor and advanced assembly materials.

"Indium Corporation was founded as a tech hub, a place where sophisticated, technical, and customer-minded people collaborate on applications that extend our customers', our products' or our factories' technologies," said Greg Evans, president of Indium Corporation. "Our new Malaysian Tech Hub gives our southeast Asian customers a convenient base from which they can access world-class technical support, knowledge, training, meetings, and more."

"Penang's electronics history started in the 1970s," said KL Lim, president of the SMTA Penang Chapter. "More than 40 years later, Penang is still a place of choice for electronics business, despite ODM migration to low-cost geography. Penang is a unique place for electronics. It has a well-established infrastructure and supply chain, and it is also easy to access. The Penang population consists of multicultural talent that is well-educated and speaks multiple languages, is friendly and willing to learn. SMTA Penang is looking forward to working closely with Indium Corporation to continue to excel Penang as place of choice for electronics."

In addition to the newly opened facility, Indium Corporation has also added three new team members to provide onsite technical support.

New team members include Kenneth Thum, senior technical support engineer; Kenny Chiong, senior technical support engineer; and Jeffrey Len, technical support engineer. These new team members join experienced Indium Corporation professionals, including Sze Pei Lim, Southeast Asia technical manager; Jonas Sjoberg, technical consultant; Damian Santhanasamy, Malaysia sales manager; and Jeffrey Tan, assistant sales manager.

"The Malaysia Tech Hub enhances Indium Corporation's ability to fulfill our promise to our customers," Ross Berntson, Indium Corporation executive vice president and president of Asia holdings, said. "It will increase customer productivity through superior applications, support, and technical know-how of advanced materials and processes."
