Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Ichia is diversifying its portfolio by entering the drone and robotics sectors, with mass production at its new Malaysia facility set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The company expects double-digit annual growth this year, fueled by early order pull-ins, expanded product lines, and overseas expansion. The Malaysia plant will focus on data communications, smart cockpit systems, and energy storage battery management. A second phase of land acquisition has been completed, with a long-term goal for the facility to contribute over 40% of total company revenue by 2030.
Ichia is shifting toward advanced technology solutions, including subsystem modules, thermal management systems, and next-generation electronics. Its new robotics line features electromechanical integration for robot joints, silicone skin materials, and flexible circuit boards. Flexible circuit modules for robotics have already been shipped to clients in the US and China, while mechanical components are scheduled for mass production this quarter.
Drone products are expected to begin contributing to revenue in 2026, signaling Ichia’s commitment to becoming a major player in emerging tech industries.
