Unisem’s Ipoh plant impacted by EMCO closure

Unisem said assuming the Ipoh plant is closed for the full duration of the above EMCO period, the capacity loss arising from the closure is about 2% of the group’s total annual output volume.

KUALA LUMPUR: Unisem (M) Bhd expects about 2% of its total annual output volume to be affected as its plant in Pulai Jaya industrial estate has been ordered to shut down for two weeks due to the enhanced movement control order (EMCO).

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the global provider of semiconductor assembly and test service said the announcement was made by the National Security Council (NSC) on July 24 to place the industrial estate under the EMCO from Monday until Aug 8.
