Singapore, January 17, 2014 - In order to better meet the global electronics industry's demand for innovative and reliable precision interconnect solutions, Molex is located in its Chengdu Hi-Tech Development Zone. The operation opened a new global mold center to expand the company's global mold capabilities.
