To improve efficiency in the manufacturing of advanced devices worldwide, ON Semiconductor is to consolidate more of its assembly and test operations at its site in Seremban, Malaysia

As part of this consolidation, the company will discontinue back-end manufacturing at its site in Roznov, Czech Republic, and move its back-end manufacturing equipment to Seremban. ON Semiconductor plans to maintain its front-end manufacturing and design centre operations at the Roznov site where it has significant ties to technical universities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

By consolidating more of its assembly and test operations at key sites around the world, ON Semiconductor plans to drive world-class quality and cost for its customers.

The company's 26,000m2 assembly and test facility in Seremban currently employs 2150 workers and conducts the assembly and test for more than 5 billion of the 20 billion devices the company manufactures annually.

In Roznov, the move affects roughly 450 employees.

The company plans to transition some of these positions into its front-end and design operations that are located at the site.

The consolidation also enables the facility in Roznov to focus on its strengths in design and tech-intensive, front-end manufacturing, and provides the company with the potential to introduce more advanced technologies to the site as market conditions evolve.
