SAFC Hitech® Opens New Taiwan Facility to Enhance Global Capacity for High-Brightness LED Precursor Manufacturing
March 14th, 2012
In a celebratory event held March 15, SAFC Hitech officially opened the latest addition to its global manufacturing footprint, a 270,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan that provides significant capacity increases for the high-volume manufacturing of high-quality TMG, TEG and TMI precursors for HBLED applications. The site will also produce ALD and CVD precursors for the silicon semiconductor market and offer regional transfilling capability and technical service and support.
The opening of the new Kaohsiung facility reinforces Taiwan as a vital strategic regional hub from which to leverage SAFC Hitech’s existing proprietary knowledge and capabilities as a leading provider of ultra-high purity metalorganic and silicon precursors for thin film deposition production processes. The opening of the new facility follows the March 2010 production expansion for TMG at SAFC Hitech’s Bromborough, UK manufacturing site.
