Germany’s TRUMPF Electronics expands into Southeast Asia

The new Malaysia-based technical center will service the growing regional semiconductor industry in Southeast Asia

TRUMPF Electronics marks its entry into the Southeast Asian market with a newly opened new regional technical center in Malaysia. The center, located in Kuala Lumpur is outlined with cutting-edge infrastructure, purpose-built to streamline production processes and uphold the highest standards in manufacturing excellence.

As the world’s leading plasma power suppliers for the semiconductor sector, TRUMPF Electronics’ solutions are widely adopted across cutting-edge technologies and key sectors. This includes the semiconductor, solar, display, and industrial coating industries.

In a media release, TRUMPF stated that the new technical center aims to provide dedicated maintenance and repair services for international equipment manufacturers, while onsite product fitting and professional training are available. The facility will also serve to develop high-tech skills for the Malaysian workforce, with TRUMPF Electronics making a long-term commitment to local talent for the next generation of semiconductor advancements.

According to Dariusz Czaja, Managing Director of TRUMPF Electronics Asia, Southeast Asia has emerged as a key hub for the semiconductor industry, driven by its rapidly expanding digital economy and the resulting demand for advanced chips.

“The new technical center in Malaysia represents a pivotal milestone in our commitment to bolster the region’s dynamic semiconductor industry. By investing in local infrastructure, we are dedicated to delivering innovative solutions that empower our customers and propel the region’s growth,” said Czaja.

Apart from the new technical center in Malaysia, TRUMPF Electronics also has a technical center in Japan. The Malaysian technical center will maintain service availability for requests from other countries in the region like Vietnam and Thailand.

Plasma solutions

As a provider of sophisticated plasma solutions for the semiconductor ecosystem, TRUMPF Electronics delivers advanced radio-frequency generators and matching systems that ensure precise, stable plasma needed for the high-tech manufacturing of components like microchips and solar panels.

Plasma power supplies achieve up to 80% efficiency and consume roughly half the energy of traditional generators. Their high reliability allows manufacturers to reduce energy costs and operate more sustainably, with minimal downtime.

These advanced systems excel in both performance and dependability—automatically adjusting in real time to maintain optimal plasma conditions and consistent output.

They play a vital role in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), etching, and ion implantation, ensuring exceptional precision, quality, and throughput in wafer fabrication.

TRUMPF Electronics also debuted at SEMICON SEA 2025 in Singapore where it showcased the TruPlasma RF generator and TruPlasma Match series, alongside other advanced technologies and solutions for the semiconductor ecosystem.
