KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says he has met with AT&S chief executive officer Dr Michael Mertin to discuss the latest developments regarding the company’s operations in Kulim, Kedah.
In a Facebook post, the Prime Minister said the company presently employs about 2,700 workers there.
He said Malaysia was one of AT&S’ major production hubs, alongside Austria, China and India, reflecting global investors’ continued confidence in the country’s capabilities and competitiveness.
“AT&S is a global leader in high-value Integrated Circuit (IC) substrates and printed circuit boards.
“It also develops advanced connectivity technologies supporting mobile devices, automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial and high-performance computing for AI applications,” he said, Bernama reported.
Anwar said the government will continue to provide clear, consistent support for high-quality investments to strengthen Malaysia’s position in the global semiconductor value chain and create more high-skilled jobs for Malaysians.
“The confidence shown by international investors like AT&S reflects our political stability, prudent economic management and the clarity of the government’s policies,” he added.
