Transferring Production from China to India or Malaysia

Move Your Electronics Production Out of China — Safely and Strategically

We support companies transferring their electronics manufacturing operations to India or Malaysia, helping you build a more resilient, cost-effective supply chain.

Tariffs on Chinese imports and geopolitical risks are driving US importers to diversify. Even if tariffs are lowered slightly, many companies are choosing to move some or all of their electronics manufacturing out of China permanently.

Why?

Reducing reliance on China protects your business from the consequences of future conflicts between that country and the USA.

Where?

We feel that India and Malaysia are two of the most promising alternatives, and we will help you transfer production to either of those countries if we find your product is a good fit. Our approach is to prepare the manufacturing & testing processes in the new facility, and then validate those processes and monitor the trials and the ramp up closely. The objective is to avoid unnecessary risks or delays.

Both India and Malaysia stand out as Asian manufacturing options due to the following shared advantages:

Proximity to China: Short shipping times for components arriving by sea.
Lower geopolitical exposure: Neither is located in the South China Sea (as the map below shows), resulting in less risk from potential maritime blockades.
English proficiency: Communication is generally easy and professional.

Trade support: Both countries have been working closely with Washington DC to minimize tariffs on exports to the USA.

Pricing

Pricing is tailored to each project based on its scope and complexity. Typical costs vary depending on product type, supplier location, and required support.

Every production transfer is different. Pricing depends on your product, current manufacturing setup, destination country, and the number and location of suppliers involved.

Transferring Production from China to India or Malaysia FAQs

Relocating manufacturing is not as simple as changing suppliers. A successful production transfer requires technical planning, close coordination, and validation at every step. That’s where we come in.

We support your business through the full process, from evaluation to post-transfer support. We suggest not to close the transfer project until the new manufacturer has demonstrated readiness and is truly up-to-speed.

The production transfer typically takes this form:

1. Preliminary Assessment

Review of your current supplier(s) and setup in China
Identify what makes sense to transfer (and what doesn’t)
Evaluate BOMs, production documentation, checklists, jigs & fixtures, and other important elements

2. Pre-Transfer Planning

Match you with vetted Indian or Malaysian supplier(s), or audit a short list you may have found
Plan for trainings, site acceptance tests for special equipment (if any), and pilot build(s) to qualify capabilities
Align quality requirements and set up control checkpoints

3. Execution

Hand off assembly guidelines, jigs & fixtures, checklists, and so on, and arrange training
Supervise pilot builds and all the work around them, confirm production readiness
Conduct on-site inspections, process walkthroughs, and troubleshooting
Oversee dual production in China and India/Malaysia (if necessary) to reduce your risk, at least until the new manufacturer has shown they are fully capable and ready

4. Post-Transfer Support

Monitor initial batches for yield, quality, and consistency
Provide supplier performance feedback and improvement planning
Continue engineering and quality assistance if needed

The earlier you start, the more options you have.

Transferring production from China to another country is a major decision, but with the right partner, it doesn’t have to feel like rolling the dice.

Let’s talk about your needs and build a step-by-step plan to move your manufacturing to India or Malaysia.
