C-Hawk Technology, a global producer of components, assemblies, and systems for the semiconductor and medical imaging sectors, has expanded its manufacturing presence in Southeast Asia by opening new facilities in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. These additions enhance the company’s regional production capacity and capabilities, allowing it to better serve semiconductor customers through localized manufacturing, stronger supply chain reliability, and quicker delivery times as demand for advanced semiconductor solutions rises.

“This investment reflects our commitment to growing alongside our customers and supporting their manufacturing operations in Southeast Asia,” said Chase Zunino, CEO of the C-Hawk Group of Companies. “By expanding our regional footprint, we have added new capabilities and increased capacity, enabling greater agility and faster scaling to meet customers’ needs—while continuing to uphold the high-quality standards our customers expect. This expansion was well-timed, as we were able to transition into the factories and have our customers qualify them in time to support the current semiconductor ramp.”

C-Hawk’s new manufacturing facility in Johor Baru, Malaysia, spans approximately 200,000 square feet across two adjacent buildings and augments C-Hawk’s capacity to manufacture precision plastics and cleanroom assembly. In addition, C-Hawk added PFA tube bending as a core manufacturing capability. The site currently employs more than 300 employees, with plans to grow to over 400 by the end of 2026, reflecting the company’s ongoing investment in Southeast Asia manufacturing operations. 

In addition to C-Hawk’s Malaysia and Singapore manufacturing facilities, Vietnam’s new site in Ho Chi Minh City expands manufacturing diversification and supply chain across Southeast Asia while adding new capabilities. At 96,000 square feet, it increases the company’s capacity to support regional advanced manufacturing programs. The Vietnam site specializes in contract manufacturing of complex modules and full system builds, as well as ultra-high-purity orbital welding for semiconductor gas delivery systems.

“With expanded operations in Malaysia and Vietnam, we are strengthening our ability to support customers across multiple aspects of semiconductor equipment manufacturing,” said Peri Kasthuri, COO of the C-Hawk Group of Companies. “From precision component manufacturing and cleanroom assembly in Malaysia to contract manufacturing and full system-level builds in Vietnam, these facilities allow us to scale production in Southeast Asia while supporting complex semiconductor manufacturing programs.”

These strategic moves reflect C-Hawk’s long-term commitment to Southeast Asia as a key manufacturing region for the global semiconductor industry. Beyond increasing production capacity, the company actively contributes to the development of local advanced manufacturing ecosystems through partnerships with regional universities and community outreach programs that support workforce development and engineering talent.
