FICG eyes 4x optical communications capacity by 2027
What happened
FICG is aggressively expanding optical communications production in Malaysia and China to meet surging AI-driven demand, which the company estimates is 3-4x current supply capacity. Chairman Leo Chien described the next three years as a "frenzied expansion period," with the company's Johor, Malaysia, facility set to increase capacity 4x by the end of 2027. The expansion is a plan, not a completed build-out; the source does not state any cause beyond AI-driven demand.
