Established by Malaysian semiconductor pioneers
Current Leadership:
Executive leadership under Unisem Group
The leadership continues to advance precision engineering, semiconductor capability, and global manufacturing relevance.
Some companies build brands — UNISEM builds what powers them.
In 1989, as Malaysia’s semiconductor ecosystem was still emerging, UNISEM focused not on finished products, but on the invisible layer beneath them — integrated circuits, packaging, and testing.
These were not visible to consumers, but essential to every electronic system.
As global demand for electronics accelerated, the need for precision assembly and validation grew.
UNISEM positioned itself within this critical segment, evolving from a local operation into a trusted partner within global supply chains.
From assembly to advanced packaging and testing, from local facility to international operations, it expanded into wafer bumping, probing, and complex IC packaging, serving multinational clients across industries.
Its facilities in Malaysia and China became integral to global semiconductor manufacturing networks.
From unseen processes to global integration, its journey reflects a powerful truth — that precision at the smallest scale enables impact at the largest scale.
Core Activities include:
Semiconductor assembly and packaging
Wafer processing and bumping services
Integrated circuit testing including analog, digital, and RF
