LEM Opens Manufacturing Facility in Malaysia for Demanding EV and Renewable Energy Applications

LEM, a global leader in sensor solutions, establishes its new facility in Malaysia, exemplifying LEM‘s strategic expansion strategy in response to the rising worldwide demand for the company’s primary offerings, namely current and voltage sensors. The growing demand for these products in various areas, including automation, automotive, traction, and renewable energy, is driven by the necessity to reduce carbon emissions in transportation, industry, energy production, and private life.

LEM decided to make a significant investment in the state of Penang since they acknowledged the region’s proficiency in chip manufacturing.

LEM plans to expand its workforce from approximately 70 employees in April 2024 to over 200 employees by March 2025, and eventually surpass 500 employees. Additionally, the company anticipates that sales from the facility will exceed €200 million. The new factory, spanning 11,800 sqm, has already made arrangements to expand by an additional 5,000 sqm of land. It is equipped with a cutting-edge logistic system that includes automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) on the shop floor. These AGVs efficiently transfer components from the warehouse to the advanced production lines. LEM Malaysia is also the pioneer in the implementation of our new ERP system and will generate a significant portion of its energy using solar panels.

LEM CEO Frank Rehfeld emphasizes the importance of ongoing investment in cutting-edge facilities to provide top-tier solutions for various dynamically evolving industries. According to him, LEM is constantly seeking methods to ensure the security of the company’s operations while expanding its presence worldwide. The recently established Penang factory represents the most recent undertaking in this pursuit.
