Establishes JS-SEZ Twinning Strategy to Advance Regional Manufacturing, Innovation and Supply Chain Integration
SINGAPORE, July 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), data centres and semiconductor technologies continue to accelerate global industrial transformation, manufacturers are reconfiguring their supply chains to enhance resilience, operational agility and responsiveness to customers across international markets.
Against this backdrop, FIC Global Inc. (“FICG” or “the Group”; TWSE: 3701), a Taiwan-listed global technology group, today advanced its regional growth strategy in Southeast Asia and world-wide through two strategic collaborations formalized at the ASEAN Conference 2026 in Singapore.
PRO3C, FICG’s advanced manufacturing subsidiary, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AME Elite Consortium Berhad (“AME”), a Malaysia-listed integrated industrial space solutions provider. At the same time, FICG signed a separate MoU with Jurong Town Corporation (“JTC”), Singapore’s industrial master planner and infrastructure developer. Together, the two collaborations establish FICG’s Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) Twinning Strategy, integrating advanced manufacturing capabilities in Johor with regional innovation, strategic sourcing and supply chain management functions in Singapore.
More than a conventional manufacturing expansion, the initiative reflects FICG’s long-term vision of developing an integrated cross-border operating model within the JS-SEZ. By combining Malaysia’s established manufacturing ecosystem with Singapore’s strengths in innovation, global connectivity, talent and supply chain management, FICG aims to strengthen its end-to-end capabilities across advanced electronic design and manufacturing, strategic sourcing, supply chain integration, innovation and customer engagement.
FICG’s capabilities extend beyond semiconductor packaging and advanced PCBA. Through its global operations, the Group provides advanced electronic design and manufacturing services for a broad range of applications, including communications, avionics, automotive, industrial, marine, medical and consumer electronics. The JS-SEZ Twinning Strategy will further enhance the Group’s ability to support customers across diverse technology sectors and international markets.
Under the strategy, PRO3C will continue expanding its manufacturing capabilities in Johor to support growing global demand from the AI, data centre, semiconductor and other advanced technology sectors. AME will contribute its expertise in integrated industrial park development, customized industrial facilities and engineering solutions to support PRO3C’s future manufacturing expansion and the development of a broader industrial ecosystem in Malaysia.
In Singapore, FICG plans to establish a Regional Innovation and Supply Chain Centre, which will serve as the Group’s regional platform for innovation, strategic sourcing, supply chain management and customer engagement across Asia-Pacific. Through its collaboration with JTC, FICG aims to deepen cross-border integration along the Johor–Singapore corridor while enhancing its responsiveness to customers throughout ASEAN and beyond.
The initiative is further supported by UOB, whose cross-border banking capabilities and extensive regional business network will help facilitate investment, financial integration and strategic business connectivity across FICG’s expanding regional operations.
Together, Malaysia and Singapore offer a highly complementary foundation for advanced technology development. Malaysia provides competitive manufacturing capabilities, an established industrial base and a rapidly developing technology ecosystem, while Singapore offers global connectivity, international talent, sophisticated financial infrastructure and a leading innovation environment. By integrating the respective strengths of both markets, FICG is positioning itself to build a more resilient regional value chain, enhance operational flexibility and provide more responsive support to customers across global technology industries.
According to the Group’s development roadmap, PRO3C’s new manufacturing campus in Johor commenced volume production at the end of 2025 and continues to ramp up operations. FICG will hold the facility’s Grand Opening Ceremony in October 2026, marking a major milestone in the Group’s long-term manufacturing development in Malaysia.
Together with the planned Regional Innovation and Supply Chain Centre in Singapore, the Johor manufacturing campus will form the foundation of FICG’s cross-border operating model, supporting customers across ASEAN and international markets.
“Global competitiveness is no longer determined by the scale of a single factory. Today, success increasingly depends on how effectively a company connects its manufacturing capabilities, supply chains, innovation resources and customers across borders.
“Our partnerships with AME and JTC, supported by UOB’s regional banking and business connectivity capabilities, mark a new phase in FICG’s global development. By combining Malaysia’s manufacturing strengths with Singapore’s capabilities in innovation, talent and supply chain management, we are building a more resilient cross-border platform to serve our global customers and create sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders and partners.”
— Mr. Leo Chien, Chairman of FIC Global Inc.
