Menicon’s Largest Malaysia Plant Begins Commercial Production

NAGOYA, Japan, Feb 6 (Bernama) -- Menicon Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that its new manufacturing facility in Kedah, Malaysia, has commenced commercial production. The plant strengthens Menicon’s long-standing commitment to technological excellence, uncompromising quality, and a stable global supply of contact lenses.

The newly opened Malaysia plant is Menicon’s largest site to date and is dedicated exclusively to producing 1-DAY lenses.
As global demand for 1-DAY lenses continues rising and the industry faces widespread supply constraints, Menicon has made significant capital investments to expand production capacity—even amid the uncertainties presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Construction of phase 1, currently underway, will provide capacity for up to 500 million lenses per year. The construction plan is strategically formulated to extend through phase 4, allowing for further expansion in response to future market demand. With the continued installation of additional production lines, the company envisions a system capable of producing up to 2 billion lenses annually in the future.
