The construction of its second-phase manufacturing facility in the Samalaju Industrial Park in Bintulu, Sarawak was on track to be completed by end-2019 but it will only be commissioned in February or March.
Having spent RM300 million on the expansion, PMB Technology projects its production capacity of metallic silicon to double to 72,000 tonnes per year. Together with the completion of the second phase, the group’s total combined built-up area dedicated to its metallic silicon business will be nearly doubled to 1.245 million sq ft from 630,000 sq ft.
PMB Technology is producing about 33,000 tonnes of metallic silicon annually, and is targeting 45,000 tonnes this year, rising to the full capacity of 72,000 tonnes by 2021. “If things all go well ... with 45,000 tonnes of output, our revenue will be hitting about US$80 million to US$90 million and by 2021 will be seeing some US$140 million,” said an optimistic Koon.
He sees annual silicon demand growth normalising to about 5%. “We saw a dip [in silicon demand] because of the trade war, but by next (this) year, we expect the impact from the trade war to taper off,” said Koon, who is hoping to maintain a minimum 5% profit margin for the metallic silicon business amid market volatility.
For the cumulative nine months of FY19, PMB Technology’s profit margin for the total business was about 3%.
