It's ok. We're moving to high income nation. Seagate pergi, quant jobs mari. Annual salary pun Tinggi.

On a more serious note, Seagate seems fucked. Closed their China branch early this year.

I've been avoiding them for a while, but I just noticed my laptop is using Seagate and it's been running through all sorts of hell for the past 4.5 years. My WDD caviar black desktop disk just KOed after 1.5 years.

Not all part were flooded. My company has plant in Thailand too but on higher ground. So, WD wanted to rent our empty space but our CEO gave them FOC. smile.gif

Yes many manufacturing that are human intensive moving to Thailand. Cheaper labor? Not sure. However, European companies are looking for manufacturing partners in this region as well, not China because China famous with uncontrolled copies of products even before the products are released into market. laugh.gif

WD might move their PJ plant eventually I think,  but still within Klang Valley. In any case, Malaysia is like their regional HQ. Highly unlikely they will leave anytime soon.

somehow I heard their KL plant got 9 lives. Many times they tried to close it but always something happened (e.g. the floods in Thailand) brows.gif
At very least I think the KL plant will be there as a backup plan, or until they change their gameplan and focus more on the SSD segment.

the company has been suffering due to decreased demand for its products anyway. struggled to adjust to the decline in the HDD industry and has seen sales of its desktop and notebook drives decline. Also contributed by the fact that customers have shifted towards smartphone and tablet which has seen demand for SSD increased drastically.

However, seagate will still be maintaining their IT Shared and Human Resource Centre operations in Penang. Their substrates manufacturing operations in Johor will also continue business as usual.

At first I thought my failing ST Momentus was made by seagate until I open up and replace my laptop hdd with a new SSHD seagate with 5 year warranty. It turn up to be a Samsung made. Aiyaa.
