ASE is increasing its investment by NT$100 billion. Its subsidiary, Taiwan Furei Electronics Co., Ltd., is partnering with WinWay Technology Co., Ltd. and Hotron Technology Co., Ltd. to establish operations in Renwu, expected to create over 2,000 job opportunities.
Mayor Chen Chi-mai thanked ASE for its continued investment in Kaohsiung, stating that in the post-Moore's Law era, demand for advanced packaging is strong and growing rapidly. In the AI era, various application services are accelerating the growth of computing power demand, making advanced packaging one of the fastest-growing industries. The Kaohsiung City Government grasped relevant development trends early this year and planned industrial land needs in coordination with ASE's overall layout.
Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a chip roughly doubles every two years.
ASE Group CEO Wu Tien-yu said that the launch of the Renwu Advanced Testing Base symbolizes ASE's continued deep cultivation in Kaohsiung and its strategic determination to deploy in Renwu, representing a new peak in Kaohsiung's industrial upgrading. The base is expected to invest over NT$100 billion and will create an output value of approximately NT$200 billion in the future, attracting semiconductor talent to develop in Kaohsiung.
The Kaohsiung City Government's Economic Development Bureau stated that global semiconductor competition has rapidly expanded from the core of wafer manufacturing to a systemic competition involving "advanced packaging," "testing technology," and "equipment and material integration." The city government is promoting the "Semiconductor S-Corridor" policy, using the Nanzih Technology Industrial Park, Nanzih Science Park, and Renwu Industrial Park as key nodes to build a complete and resilient semiconductor industry ecosystem.
According to the Economic Development Bureau, the new Furei Electronics plant will introduce wafer testing, chip testing, and advanced packaging and testing integration services, strengthening the ASE Group's technological depth in the global packaging and testing market. It also signifies Kaohsiung's role in the semiconductor value chain has upgraded from a manufacturing base to a "technology integration and application innovation hub."
In addition, WinWay Technology has a global competitive advantage in high-end test sockets, and Hotron Technology focuses on efficient thermal management solutions. Their joint entry symbolizes the localization of equipment and materials, completing a critical piece of the high-value "Semiconductor S-Corridor" in Kaohsiung. (Edited by Li Mingzong) 1150410
