Princeton, NJ – Rockwood Specialties Group will consolidate its 200 mm wafer reclaim operations over the next nine months to two high-volume centers.

The supplier of wafer reclaim services for the European and U.S. semiconductor markets will maintain centers in Gréasque, France, and Prescott, AZ.

Rockwood will close its Rockwood Electronic Materials Wafer Reclaim facility in Riddings, Derbyshire, UK and the Exsil facility in Providence, RI, both of which are predominantly focused on the declining 150 mm reclaim market.            

The closure of the UK Wafer Reclaim business will not affect the Ultra Pure Chemicals business based at the same site. The company also said the 300 mm reclaim business, based in Germany, is not affected by these closures.
