KUCHING: China-based Xi’an LONGi Silicon Materials Corp (LONGi) will invest about RM100mil next year in expanding the company’s various manufacturing facilities in Samajaya Free Industrial Zone (SFIZ), Kuching, to boost the production capacity of solar panels.
LONGi – the world’s largest manufacturer of solar-grade mono-crystalline silicon products – has invested some RM1.3bil in SFIZ since spreading its wing to Sarawak with the acquisition of US-based SunEdison’s silicon wafer production facility in SFIZ for US$63mil in March last year.
