Koh Young Technology launches Taiwan Subsidiary to Strengthen Foundry Partnerships
SEOUL, KOREA – Koh Young Technology has established a subsidiary in Taiwan, it announced on the 10th. The strategy aims to strengthen partnerships and technological competitiveness with local clients, including TSMC, the world's largest foundry.
Koh Young Technology, the global leader in surface mount technology (SMT) inspection equipment for semiconductors, has developed three-dimensional inspection equipment that significantly improves speed and precision. Major products include solder paste inspection equipment (SPI), automated optical inspection equipment (AOI), semiconductor packaging inspection equipment, and transparent material inspection equipment, among others. The company supplies products to over 3,600 clients worldwide, including TSMC and Taiwan's ASE, the number one company in semiconductor packaging.
Taiwan is the center of the global foundry industry. The Taiwanese government established the Industrial Technology Research Institute in 1973 for industrial development. TSMC, the representative semiconductor corporation, was spun off from the Industrial Technology Research Institute, and various corporations are positioned throughout the entire semiconductor production process, from foundry to fabless and back-end processing.
According to Bloomberg News, 90% of the world's most advanced semiconductors and chips are produced in Taiwan, and the American semiconductor company NVIDIA is also manufacturing AI chips in Taiwan.
George Hsu, head of Koh Young Technology's Taiwan subsidiary, said, "By leveraging Taiwan's geographical strengths as a core hub of the global semiconductor industry, we will promote technological innovation and focus on penetrating semiconductor clients. We have already started to attract interest from various semiconductor clients, receiving love calls from advanced process clients for chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS)," he noted. He added, "We will expand our market share and strengthen our global influence in the semiconductor market through customized strategies and technological capabilities tailored to each market."
Meanwhile, Hsu is a semiconductor expert with about 30 years of experience having passed through global semiconductor equipment companies such as Applied Materials Taiwan and Onto Innovation. He plans to focus on acquiring new clients and enhancing sales capabilities based on his experience in sales strategy.
