The sale will involve two parcels – a 3.6-acre site and an 11-acre site. No price was mentioned in the statement but a 2018 report by a business publication put the price of the 11-acre site at between RM160mil and RM190mil. “Western Digital has been operating on these sites for the company’s hard disk manufacturing operations and has fitted the plants with high-grade equipment, including large Class 100 clean rooms. Western Digital, according to previous press reports, has been operating there for more than 20 years. This is not the first time a US-based disk storage solutions company is shutting down a major manufacturing plant.
