PENANG, Malaysia -- ASE Technology Holding on Tuesday opened what is set to become its largest overseas operations in Penang, Malaysia, as the world's biggest chip packaging and testing provider looks for its next growth drivers in robotics and AI amid an ongoing supply chain reshuffle.
ASE, based in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung, said it will double its workforce in Malaysia to about 6,000 as it more than triples its factory space from 1 million sq. feet to 3.4 million sq. feet in the coming years.
