28/08/2024
Advanced laser and plasma equipment manufacturer E&R Technology has held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new plant at Taiwan’s Qiaotou Science Park. The event brought together E&R’s top management and government officials to mark a new milestone.
Government officials, senior executives of E&R and shareholders attended the ceremony.
The Qiaotou new plant is expected to obtain its operating licence in 2026 and will feature a more advanced manufacturing environment, higher-grade clean rooms and enhanced environmental vibration control, emphasising product quality and service standards of international equipment manufacturers. E&R’s commitment to being ‘Excellent & Reliable (E&R)’ remains steadfast, highlighting the strength of ‘Made in Taiwan’.
It is expected that E&R’s Qiaotou new plant, along with the Nantong plant in mainland China (scheduled to open in July 2024) and the existing Yanchao headquarters, will provide customers with greater production capacity to meet the future demand for equipment in artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), automotive electronics, third-generation semiconductors, glass substrates and other industries.
Additionally, the construction of the new plant will adhere to smart and environmentally friendly practices, including solar panels and water recycling, reflecting E&R’s dedication to sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles. This project is expected to significantly contribute to Kaohsiung semiconductor industry growth, aligning with the ‘Southern Semiconductor S Corridor’ initiative promoted by Kaohsiung City Government and creating employment opportunities in the region.
