GEORGE TOWN (Jan 27): Elsoft Research Bhd (KL:ELSOFT) will spend about RM20 million in 2026 to support its new and future business segments. The Penang-based automated test equipment (ATE) manufacturer spent over RM2 million in 2025 to develop kidney dialysis embedded systems and ultra-slim meta-lens test solutions. Group CEO Tan Cheik Eaik told The Edge that Elsoft had secured orders for its embedded systems used in peritoneal kidney dialysis machines. “A local medical company placed the order for 2,000 embedded systems with a RM10 million to RM12 million value. Last year, we got orders for only 1,000 embedded systems,” he said.
