POET Technologies announced plans to expand its optical engine production capacity in Malaysia. The company signed a binding MOU with Quanzhou Sanan Optical Communication Technology to acquire their 24.8% stake in the Super Photonics Xiamen (SPX) joint venture, making SPX a wholly-owned POET subsidiary. This strategic move enables POET to implement its 'China Plus One' strategy and relocate wafer-scale assembly operations outside China.
The company is negotiating with Malaysian contract manufacturers to establish wafer-scale assembly of optical engines, with operations expected to start by year-end. The expansion will increase production capacity to over one million optical engines annually, focusing on 800G and higher speed transceivers for AI networks through 2026.
POET Technologies has announced its intention to voluntarily delist its common shares from the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV), while maintaining its listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol 'POET'.
