Focuslight Strengthens Southeast Asia Manufacturing Platform with Advanced Singapore High-Precision Micro-optics Backend Line and New Malaysia High-Volume Site

Xi’an, China – January 5, 2026 – Focuslight Technologies Inc. today announced a significant expansion of its global manufacturing platform in Southeast Asia, marked by two key milestones: the successful establishment of an advanced high-precision micro-optics backend production line in Singapore, and the development of a new high-volume manufacturing center in Malaysia.

Together, these investments reinforce Focuslight’s strategy of combining European-engineered precision with scalable, resilient global manufacturing, while addressing growing market demand—particularly from the optical communication sector—for increased capacity, flexibility, and supply-chain security.

Singapore: Advanced High-Precision Micro-Optics Backend Production

Focuslight has successfully established a new backend production line in Singapore dedicated to high-precision micro-optics. The line supports critical backend processes including dicing, cleaning, packaging, and final inspection.

Fully qualified through Focuslight’s internal quality and process validation systems, the Singapore high-precision micro-optics backend line is now ready to support customer programs, particularly in the field of optical communication and other high-reliability applications, while offering customers greater geographic flexibility within Southeast Asia.

Together with the previously expanded backend facility in Dongguan, China, the Singapore line forms part of a complementary, multi-site backend manufacturing network supporting wafer-level micro-optics fabricated in Europe, ensuring consistent performance, quality, and reliability worldwide.

Malaysia: A New High-Volume Manufacturing Hub

In parallel, Focuslight is establishing a new manufacturing site in the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), Malaysia. With building construction completed, the company is progressing with interior decoration, facility build-out, and cleanroom installation. The site is scheduled to reach operational readiness by Q3 2026.

Designed as a core mass-production hub, the Malaysia facility will support any Focuslight product line transitioning into large-volume manufacturing. The project spans approximately 13,000 m² of land with 7,000 m² of production space, significantly enhancing Focuslight’s ability to scale efficiently while maintaining consistent quality and delivery performance.

The Malaysia site represents a key pillar of Focuslight’s commitment to Empowering Supply Chain Freedom and Resilience, providing customers with scalable capacity, operational flexibility, and dependable fulfillment in a rapidly evolving global environment.

A Unified Global Operations Platform

The Singapore and Malaysia expansions integrate seamlessly into Focuslight’s global operational network, which includes manufacturing and R&D sites across China, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, and Malaysia. This unified platform enables Focuslight to deliver optimized, efficient, and forward-looking photonics manufacturing solutions across a wide range of markets, including optical communications, consumer electronics, semiconductors, industrial, automotive, and medical applications.

“Demand from the optical communication market continues to grow, both in volume and technical complexity,” said Lucas Zhang, Vice President of Global Operations at Focuslight. “By establishing an advanced high-precision micro-optics backend line in Singapore and expanding our high-volume manufacturing capacity in Malaysia, we are strengthening our global platform to support customers with greater flexibility, resilience, and confidence in their supply chains. Together, these investments reflect our long-term commitment to scalable growth, operational excellence, and customer success.”

Focuslight will continue to invest in its global manufacturing and operations platform to ensure fast response, consistent quality, and long-term supply security for customers worldwide.
