Manufacturing hubs
Our virtual fab operating model delivers 24/7 engineering and operations support across all our manufacturing sites worldwide.
About our manufacturing hubs
By leveraging advanced analytics, digital manufacturing tools and secure remote operations, our Global Fab Engineering Services (GFES) manufacturing hubs in Penang, Malaysia and Bengaluru, India connect our global manufacturing network to drive agility, speed and operational resilience for customers. This differentiated model has delivered proven improvements in yield, cycle time and overall fab efficiency.
Penang, Malaysia
Our Malaysia office in Penang was opened in 2023 to provide engineering resources to supplement manufacturing operations on a real-time basis. The site serves as our global center of excellence for process engineering and manufacturing engineering, driving standardization and automation with advanced AI technologies. The office was opened with the support of Invest Penang and Malaysia Development Economy Corporation (MDEC).
“What I enjoy most is working with an energized workforce that brings fresh perspectives and a willingness to challenge the status quo. GFES gives us the space to experiment, test new digital manufacturing ideas and scale what works across our global network. Continuous improvement is no longer a project — it’s how we operate every day.”
Bengaluru, India
The GF India office in Bengaluru is our largest non-manufacturing site, with more than 1,000 employees. It recently celebrated 10 years of success and operations in India.
The GF India team supports our global semiconductor fabrication and manufacturing facilities, with functions including technology development, design enablement, IP design, application engineering quality and manufacturing operations support, as well as enablement teams.
“If there’s one thing our GFES team has taught me over the years, it’s this: a fab isn’t limited to its walls. While physical infrastructure remains at the heart of chip manufacturing, there is so much that can be done remotely, especially in the age of automation and AI.”
