Taiwan supplier of semiconductor process chemicals (CMP materials, specialty gases) plus quartz and wafer-related consumables.
Taiwan supplier of semiconductor process chemicals (CMP materials, specialty gases) plus quartz and wafer-related consumables.
Acts partly as an agent selling other firms' fab materials and equipment in Taiwan and partly as a manufacturer of its own quartz and carrier products, so reported revenue includes a lot of low-margin resale. Orders follow chip-fab construction and wafer starts.
In one line: A smaller Taiwan analogue to Entegris' semiconductor-materials business.
Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification). Materials must be qualified into fab processes; broad consumables portfolio built over decades of fab relationships.
Headquarters: Taipei, Taiwan · Founded: 1990 · Employees: 1,877
