Upon its listing, its market capitalisation was RM300.77mil and a price-earnings multiple of 13 times.

UWC Bhd is riding on the wave of Internet of Things (IoT), 5G wireless broadband technology as well as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) as the group sees growth opportunities from these areas.

It is ramping up its production capacity and improving its production efficiency to support this demand.

In a recent interview with StarBizWeek , UWC group CEO Datuk Ng Chai Eng said the growing prominence of IoT was driving the development of connected “things”, which in turn increases the demand for semiconductors.

“Healthcare trends are also seeing the adoption of IoMT to monitor and carry out machine-to-machine communication using connectivity and sensor technology.

“We are optimistic of a steady growth from the life science and medical technology industry going forward,” he said.
