The branch provides local access to Koh Young’s award-winning inspection and metrology solutions, supported by engineering, applications, and service experts.
The facility features a dedicated demonstration center showcasing Koh Young’s latest portfolio for advanced packaging, semiconductor, and electronics manufacturing applications, with systems purpose-built for wafer-level metrology, system-in-package (SiP) and fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) applications, and other advanced packaging inspection processes. It also serves as a hub for training, technical support, and collaborative process development, enabling customers to optimize quality, throughput, and yield in highly demanding manufacturing environments.
“Taiwan is one of the most important centers of semiconductor and electronics innovation in the world,” said Hsu. “Our mission is to be more than a solutions provider — we aim to be a trusted partner in our customers’ success. By combining Koh Young’s proven technology leadership with a strong local presence, we will work side-by-side with manufacturers to solve complex challenges, accelerate process optimization, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in advanced manufacturing.”
With George Hsu at the helm, Koh Young Taiwan is well-positioned to deepen customer collaboration, deliver timely solutions, and help manufacturers in Taiwan and beyond achieve the next level of performance in high-reliability electronics and next-generation semiconductors.
