GEORGE TOWN: The local semiconductor and electronics manufacturing companies generally are still projecting to close 2022 financial year with improved performance, despite the decelerating global semiconductor industry.

For Vitrox Corp Bhd, its group chief executive officer Chu Jenn Weng told StarBiz that the group’s semiconductor segment is slowing down, but the electronic assembly division, particularly the automated board inspection business, is still growing strong in the second half of this year.
