ACM Research, a wafer cleaning technology specialist, has announced plans to expand its manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China. The $1.5 million investment will create additional production capability that can support more than $250 million of revenue. The expansion is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2018.
The manufacturing facility in Shanghai currently has a total of 36,000 sq. ft, with 8000 sq. ft of class 10,000 cleanroom space for product assembly and testing, plus 800 sq. ft of class 1 cleanroom space for product demonstration purposes.
ACM’s president and CEO, Dr David Wang, said: “We anticipate rapid growth in demand for our industry-leading Smart Megasonix cleaning technologies and with this project are preparing to meet our customers’ needs for on-time delivery of high quality tools.”
“This expansion in China puts our production in close proximity to a significant amount of new FAB construction across Asia, enabling us to deliver tools to customers more quickly and with less transportation cost and risk.”
“Our China-based engineering teams can also better serve customer needs during design, installation and acceptance testing. This investment further establishes ACM as a global leader in our segment of semiconductor manufacturing equipment.”
Headquartered in California, US, ACM Research operates facilities in China and Korea.
