, via wholly-owned subsidiary, JF International Sdn Bhd, is acquiring an 80% stake in Q3 Probe Pte Ltd (Q3) from Spire Manufacturing Inc for RM6mil, with an option to acquire the remaining 20% stake by Dec 31, 2027.

“Q3 is currently supplying patented products to the market, and we have plans to establish a production line in Malaysia to serve our strong customer base of more than 200 multinational corporations.”
