DAS Taiwan already employs approximately 380 people. Looking ahead, the expansion will create capacity for a workforce increase of about 30 percent. The expansion will take place at the existing location on the same floor. The name and address of the Hsinchu branch will remain unchanged. This is therefore not a new location, but rather part of the ongoing expansion of DAS Environmental Experts’ existing organization in Taiwan.
ALCEA Product Innovation Demonstrates the Innovative Strength of the Taiwan Location
In addition to expanding its Hsinchu branch, DAS Environmental Expert is using this year’s SEMICON Taiwan to introduce ALCEA, a new solution for the post-treatment of nitrogen oxides in semiconductor manufacturing. ALCEA was developed in collaboration with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), with DAS Environmental Experts’ Taiwan-based engineering team playing a central role. The system can be integrated directly into existing exhaust air systems and can reduce NOx emissions by up to 95 percent without requiring additional space in the subfab. This new product thus demonstrates how DAS Environmental Expert combines its close ties to customers and research partners in Taiwan with the company’s technological expertise.
DAS Grows Alongside Its Customers in the Taiwanese Semiconductor Market
In recent years, Taiwan has become one of the most important markets for DAS Environmental Expert. As semiconductor production has expanded and customers have increased their investments, demand for local technical expertise, reliable project management, and service support has also risen. DAS Taiwan has responded by continuously expanding its organization, establishing new functions, and strengthening existing teams.
“Taiwan is one of the most important growth markets for DAS Environmental Experts. Our clients continue to invest in new and existing semiconductor capacity and expect engineering, project management, and service support directly on-site. That is why we are consistently investing in our local organization and our technical expertise,” says Alex Shen, Senior Vice President of DAS Asia and General Manager of DAS Taiwan. “The expansion in Hsinchu lays the groundwork for further growing our team and offering our customers even more comprehensive support. At the same time, we are advancing our solutions for reducing PFC and NOx emissions and strengthening our local engineering and manufacturing expertise. This enables us to grow alongside our customers and support their long-term expansion in Taiwan.”
Local Expertise for Growing Semiconductor Capacities
For DAS, its growing presence in Taiwan is closely linked to the needs of the semiconductor industry. New and expanded production capacities not only increase the demand for high-performance exhaust gas treatment and environmental technologies; at the same time, local engineering expertise, reliable project management, and immediately available services are becoming increasingly important to customers.
DAS is therefore continuously expanding its capabilities in Taiwan to meet these requirements.
In addition to engineering, project management, and service, the company is advancing its solutions for reducing PFC and NOx emissions and strengthening its local manufacturing capabilities. The digitization of internal processes, including the implementation of an ERP system, supports the company’s continued growth. This enhanced local presence enables DAS to support customers directly on-site during the various phases of their investment and production projects. Short response times, local technical expertise, and growing project and service capabilities are designed to help quickly implement new requirements and ensure the reliable operation of installed systems.
New Work Environment Promotes Collaboration and Further Staff Growth
The expansion nearly doubles the size of the Hsinchu branch. The new premises offer additional workstations and meeting areas designed to facilitate collaboration between the growing teams and the various functional departments at the site.
At the same time, DAS Taiwan is investing in a work environment that promotes the recruitment, development, and long-term retention of qualified employees. In addition to open workspaces and additional meeting rooms, the facilities include quiet zones, a wellness and nursing room, and the multifunctional “DAS Tree Zone” for informal gatherings, team activities, and wellness programs. Abundant natural light and flexible spaces are designed to promote collaboration, well-being, and productivity. The improved work environment is part of DAS Taiwan’s long-term growth and talent strategy. In a dynamic semiconductor market, access to qualified professionals in the fields of engineering, project management, and service is essential for reliably executing additional customer projects and further expanding the local organization.
Taiwan as a Key Pillar of DAS’s International Business Operations
The expanded office space is located in the immediate vicinity of the existing Innovation & Support Center (ISC) and is part of the site’s ongoing development. The ISC provides the technical infrastructure for system demonstrations and test setups and is also used for customer meetings and the training of service technicians. The additional office space now creates the capacity to employ more designers, development engineers, and other technical specialists at the location. This will allow development, engineering, technical support, and direct customer service to be even more closely integrated in the future. For DAS, the expansion of its business operations in Taiwan reflects the company’s commitment to further developing its organization in tandem with the investments and requirements of its semiconductor customers. By combining global technological expertise with local expertise in engineering, project management, manufacturing, and service, the company can reliably support its customers as their production capacities increase.
With a stronger local organization and continuously growing technical expertise, DAS is laying the foundation to support its customers in Taiwan over the long term—even during the semiconductor industry’s next phase of growth. Requirements from the Taiwanese market can be addressed immediately on-site and translated into technical solutions in collaboration with the engineering teams at the headquarters in Dresden. In this way, DAS Environmental Experts combines the technological and development-related expertise from Dresden with the market knowledge and direct customer proximity of the team in Taiwan. The new ALCEA product, for example, illustrates how this collaboration works. This new exhaust gas treatment system demonstrates once again how ideas and requirements from the local market are directly incorporated into the further development of technological solutions.
