During their visit, the Minister was given a tour of the state-of-the-art facilities by Lee Boon Chun, CEO of X-FAB Sarawak.

On average, every new car worldwide contains more than 20 chips made by X-FAB.
"In the dynamic landscape of semiconductor manufacturing, it is with immense pride that we showcase the expansion of X-FAB Sarawak. The addition of a new building equipped with cutting-edge cleanroom facilities for our 200mm CMOS technology is a testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence.
