Edelteq Holdings Berhad has announced a new partnership with Halo Technologies Sdn. Bhd. to create a company called Halovision System Sdn. Bhd.
The new company will develop and sell advanced Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems, which are used to check and improve the quality of semiconductor products around the world.
Kumpulan Modal Perdana Sdn. Bhd. (KMP), a tech-focused venture capital firm fully owned by the Minister of Finance and under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, will invest up to US$672,000 (RM3.2 million) in Halovision.
The investment will help speed up the development of the Raptor series for substrate panel inspection and the i-Falke series for wafer-level inspection, while also supporting Halovision’s working capital needs.
“This partnership is a strong vote of confidence in Halovision’s technology and vision. With KMP’s strategic backing, we aim to accelerate product development and position Malaysia as a key contributor to the next wave of semiconductor innovation,” said Chin Yong Keong, Group CEO of Edelteq Holdings Berhad.
Lee Hui-Ni, Chief Investment Officer of KMP, added: “We are proud to support Halovision in its journey here in Malaysia as it advances towards delivering world-class semiconductor inspection solutions. This investment underscores our deep commitment to nurturing home-grown innovation and strengthening Malaysia’s position in the global electronics and semiconductor value chain.”
Meanwhile, John Moon, CEO of Halovision System Sdn. Bhd., said: “At Halovision, our mission is to push the boundaries of inspection technology to meet the evolving demands of the semiconductor industry. With the combined strengths of Edelteq, HTSB and KMP, we are confident of bringing cutting-edge solutions such as the Raptor and i-Falke series to market and establishing Halovision as a trusted technology partner globally.”
The launch of Halovision, along with KMP’s investment, shows Edelteq’s dedication to improving semiconductor equipment and strengthening Malaysia’s role in the global high-tech industry.
The investment is more than just funding—it is a strategic partnership between a government-owned venture capital fund and a public company to support a leading Malaysian semiconductor start-up.
This partnership aims to speed up the growth of the semiconductor industry in Malaysia by developing local talent and improving technology skills.
It also helps upgrade the value chain and strengthens Malaysia’s position as an important player in the global semiconductor industry, supporting the country’s National Semiconductor Strategy.
