The centre will provide next-generation semiconductor manufacturing equipment
Vacuum manufacturer ULVAC has launched its technology centre Pyeongtaek in South Korea for the manufacturing of semiconductor equipment, with its opening ceremony held on the 24th of October. The centre will also look to mass produce technologies whilst assisting processes with customers.
Close joint development with leading semiconductor manufacturers is a necessity for providing competitive products to the market, especially as the technical complexity in semiconductor manufacturing equipment is increasing.
Kim Seong-joong, in his first speech as vice governor for administrative affairs of Gyeonggi-do, said: "The establishment of this Center was made possible thanks to the long-standing trust and cooperation between Gyeonggi-do and ULVAC. I hope that many talented individuals will come together here to create world-leading technologies. Gyeonggi-do will continue to provide full administrative support to offer a platform for outstanding talent to realize their dreams."
ULVAC Group’s knowledge will be used by the Pyeongtaek technology centre to meet customer demands, enhance technical support, and deliver high-quality manufacturing equipment.
Collaborating with customers allows the centre to fulfil its corporate mission of playing a role in advancing the industry and science through the comprehensive use of vacuum technology. ULVAC has labeled the centre as a ‘field of potentiality’ for the future.
The opening ceremony was held on October 24th and was attended by partner companies, Gyeonggi-do officials, and ULVAC representatives. Also present was president and CEO Setsuo Iwashita who expressed his gratitude for the efforts of all involved.
Iwashita said: "We aim to respond swiftly and accurately to our customers' needs and grow together."
