JOHOR BAHRU:
Wiwynn Corporation, a Taiwan-based infrastructure provider for data centres, will develop 4.806 hectares of land for a server rack integration plant in Johor with investments totalling RM200 million.

A company vice-president, Robin Wang, said the expansion of the server rack integration plant in Johor marked the significant move of the company’s first self-build overseas presence and is expected to start production from 2023.

He said in the future, the Malaysian plant would not only serve the demand from the neighbouring data centres in Southeast Asia but would also be positioned as Wiwynn’s service centre in the Asia-Pacific region.

Kulai Municipal Council president Natazha Hariss said the Wiwynn plant would create more than 500 job opportunities for Johor residents.
