Taiwan's Delta Electronics is expanding in Malaysia to chase the AI data center boom, a positive sign for the country's push to become a regional tech hub.

• Delta opened a new office in Johor Bahru, adding to its existing Malaysian sites in Petaling Jaya and Penang.
• The office sits in an industrial and logistics park inside the fast-growing Johor–Singapore economic corridor.
• Malaysia is pulling in money for data centers, advanced manufacturing and digital infrastructure, all of which need far more power.
• Delta sells the power systems, cooling technology and factory automation that AI computing depends on, so it wants to be close to those customers.
• The company also held a 2026 outlook forum in Kuala Lumpur focused on reliable power and energy-efficient infrastructure for AI.

Outlook: More AI-driven investment is expected to flow into southern Malaysia, giving equipment suppliers like Delta a growing customer base nearby.
