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.
