Edwards, part of the Atlas Copco Group, is building a new manufacturing facility for vacuum and abatement systems used in the global manufacture of semiconductors. The new factory will be situated in Asan City, located in the Chungcheongnam-do province.
The 15,000m2 factory will join existing Edwards’ facilities in Cheonan, South Korea, including the new factory which opened in June to manufacture dry vacuum pumps for the semiconductor industry.
“This new investment shows our continued commitment to supporting our customers with future innovation and growth in the semiconductor industry in Korea and beyond,” said Geert Follens, Business Area President Vacuum Technique.
Construction of the new Asan City facility has started and should be complete by the end of July 2023, with the factory expected to be fully operational during Q3 of 2023.
