This new factory will include assembly lines for six Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and Dual In-line Package (DIP), along with 10 system assembly lines. Once completed, IBASE will be able to increase its monthly Printed Circuit Board Assembly capacity by 60,000 and its monthly system assembly capacity by 30,00 for board and system-level embedded and networking products. This expansion will help the company meet the increasing demand for its products and expand its global business.
Scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2025, the Vietnam plant will provide 18,033 square metres of manufacturing space. When combined with IBASE's existing three manufacturing sites in Taiwan, the total manufacturing space will reach 45,708sq.m. This development further demonstrates the company's commitment to delivering top-tier manufacturing solutions on a global scale.
"We have achieved a significant milestone in our company's endeavour to expand our manufacturing capabilities in Vietnam. This marks our first plant outside Taiwan and is an integral part of our long-term manufacturing roadmap aimed at providing our customers with the capacity they need for years to come, and to meet their demands for greater flexibility, efficiency, and quality," said C. S. Lin, chairman of IBASE Technology.
"The AI revolution is underway, with the adoption of AIoT devices and the power of edge computing coming together to unlock the potential of edge AI. With over 20 years of experience in the industrial PC field, IBASE has the expertise to design and manufacture edge AI computing platforms essential for today's new era. The plant in Vietnam will be instrumental to the success of our edge AI initiatives," he added
