This expansion aligns with Zestron’s commitment to meeting and anticipating the evolving needs of the Electronics and Electrical (E&E) industry.
James Yeoh, Executive Director of Zestron South Asia, stated that this strategic expansion not only lays the foundation for the company’s ongoing growth but also responds to the escalating demand for IoT, EV, AI, and other megatrends, enabled by electronics, which will continue to drive the growth in the semiconductor and electronics cleaning industry. “The expected improvement in supply capacity will increase the capability to deliver enhanced levels of support and reliability to valued customers and partners.”
