Who we are

Intel Corporation chose Penang as its first site outside of the US in 1972. Since then, Intel Malaysia has grown from a workforce of just 100 to about 12,000 employees today; next year, we will celebrate 50 years of operations in the country. Intel’s initial investment of RM1.6 million has also grown to over RM25 billion from what was once a memory chip assembly plant into one of Intel’s most complex sites. Today, the Malaysia site contributes significantly to the design and development of Intel’s latest products in the areas of PC/client, data center, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Intel Malaysia delivers multi-functional operations including assembly test manufacturing; where chips are received from Intel fabs, assembled into protective packages, tested to make sure they work as intended, and then sent to finished good warehouses for shipment to customers. Also on-site are design and development competencies, global shared services capabilities, as well as sales and marketing. Intel Malaysia’s operations consistently contribute about 10% of the country’s total electrical and electronic exports each year, supporting a critical and massive supply chain ecosystem. 

Empowering our people to care for our community 

The Intel Volunteer Matching Program empowers our employees to volunteer their skills and time in the community where the Intel Foundation will match US$5 for each hour they volunteered. Since 2006, we have clocked close to 936,000 volunteer hours and disbursed over RM13 million (as of December 2020) to NGOs and schools in Malaysia. 

We’re all in this together: Joining forces to fight the COVID-19 pandemic

In addition to manufacturing investments, Intel has committed over RM5 million for COVID-19 relief in the country since the onset of the pandemic, supporting hospitals, schools, frontliners and underserved families with medical equipment and supplies, PPEs, food and essentials, as well as technology assistance to support the remote learning needs of underserved students. In addition to the COVID-19 relief funding, Intel also helped vaccinate over 17,000 people from its own workforce, neighboring companies, and their respective supplier companies, via the Intel Penang on-site vaccination center as well as the Kulim Hi-Tech Park vaccination center or Pusat Pemberian Vaksin.

– Improving our communities will continue to be a foundational pillar of Jabil Penang’s cultural values

As a global manufacturing solutions provider, Florida-headquartered Jabil employs more than 260,000 diverse, talented and dedicated employees across 100 locations in 30 countries.

Jabil Cares, our community outreach and volunteerism platform empowers all of our sites to implement a “get local” strategy and has inspired our workforce to take ownership and make a direct impact to the community around causes related to Education, Empowerment and Environment.

Our Initiatives in Malaysia

Jabil Penang has a strong philanthropic track record since it was first established the Bayan Lepas Free Trade Zone in 1995. From active participation in the Penang International Science Fair to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics; to working with the Penang Family Health Development Association to improve HIV/AIDS awareness to the sponsorship of a computer room with the Penang Welfare Association for the Mentally Retarded Children to ensure differently-abled children are not left out of the digital transformation, Jabil Penang’s support to different causes has unified its employees with shared values.

The spirit to serve soared even higher in the COVID-19 pandemic when Jabil Penang presented many government agencies, hospitals, police stations and healthcare workers with generous contributions of masks, hand sanitizers and cash donations to ensure they have the right tools and resources to fight the outbreak on the ground. Most significantly, more than 500 Jabil Penang employees volunteered to help manage the Jabil Vaccination Center (Pusat Pemberian Vaksin), which administered 2 doses to more than 16,000 Jabil Penang employees and selected front liners from partnering companies from July-August 2021.

– In 2021, J&J Malaysia Community Impact raised funds in responding to calls for assistance amidst the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Johnson & Johnson’s Global Community Impact is focused on supporting and championing the people on the frontlines who are at the heart of delivering care. As the country entered the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic and underwent another lockdown in 2021, J&J’s Malaysia Community Impact (MCI) continued our efforts in reaching out to those in need.

MCI donated USD46,000 to The Giving Bank to purchase 80 units of oxygen concentrators, which will be loaned to COVID-19 patients who require oxygen support in home-isolation. In addition to 80 units of oxygen concentrators, the donation will also be used to purchase 800 units of adult masks with 82” tubing and 1,600 units of oxygen cannulas.

Earlier in the year, MCI rallied together employees to donate funds to NGO Refuge for the Refugees during the lock down. The funds raised, used to purchase food items, were enough to support 207 refugees and B40 families for two weeks.

Moving forward, MCI will be focused on raising awareness of mental health by providing training to employees and participating youth groups and NGOs through the Mental Health for Teens (MyHEART) programme. In line with the UN SDG goal 5 in supporting mental health and well-being, MyHEART is aimed at providing engagement opportunities for J&J employees to reach out to Malaysia teens and the community.
