Plexus Celebrates Resilience and Growth at Plexus Appreciation Dinner 2025

Plexus Manufacturing Sdn Bhd recently hosted its Appreciation Dinner 2025 on 28 and 29 June 2025 at the Setia SPICE Convention Centre, Penang, bringing together close to 7,000 employees in a celebration themed “Garden of Grit and Growth”. The two-night event honored the strength, perseverance, and achievements of Plexus team members across Malaysia.

In his speech, Victor Tan, Plexus Regional President of APAC, reflected on the evening’s theme, saying: “The theme for this evening, Garden of Grit and Growth, is a reflection of our journey as an organization. Like a garden that flourishes through every season, Plexus has continued to thrive – thanks to the resilience, dedication, and grit of our people. Tonight, we celebrate not just our achievements, but also the perseverance that brought us here.”

Victor also highlighted the company’s continued expansion in the region: “A key highlight of our ongoing growth is Bridgeview, our sixth manufacturing facility in Malaysia. This new site spans 560,000 sq ft and will expand our capabilities in the Semiconductor Capital Equipment and Healthcare/Life Sciences sectors. Bridgeview is now almost in completion, with operations targeted to begin in Oct 2025. It’s a strong testament to our long-term commitment to the region and will enable us to better support our customers’ growing needs while also uplifting local small and medium industries. These efforts are part of our goal to become a $3 billion region, and we are well on our way, thanks to all of you.”

He also emphasized the importance of the Plexus Values, which guide how the organization operates, collaborates, and innovates every day.

The appreciation dinner featured live entertainment, a lucky draw, and photo opportunities at themed booths, including the vibrant Neon Garden. Employees showcased their style in the Best Dressed Competition, with winners selected based on the loudest audience cheers.

Among the standout performances were employee-led acts: a heartfelt rendition of “Heal the World” and a high-energy dance to “Uptown Funk”. Both were proudly coordinated by the Employee Resource Group “Women in Network” (WiN).

The evening also featured the Plexus Olympics Award Presentation, organized by Plexus Young Professionals (PYP), another active Employee Resource Group. The Plexus Olympics brought together teams from all Plexus Malaysia sites in a series of six engaging competitions. The games encouraged camaraderie, healthy competition, and cross-site collaboration. Winning teams were recognized during the dinner, celebrating their energy, creativity, and team spirit.

The two-day event was a dynamic celebration of Plexus’ gratitude and commitment to its people – honoring their grit, celebrating their achievements, and looking forward to continued growth together.
