KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan, April 10, 2026 – Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (ASE, a member of ASE Technology Holdings Inc, NYSE: ASX, TWSE: 3711) held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new facility in the Renwu Industrial Park today. This joint investment, featuring partners WinWay Technology Co., Ltd. and HORNG TERNG AUTOMATION CO., LTD. (HTT), aims to establish a hi-tech semiconductor testing services cluster. The project is expected to create over 1,000 jobs as ASE continues to expand its investment in Taiwan, positioning Kaohsiung as a key hub to bolster Taiwan’s leadership in the global semiconductor industry.
“The global semiconductor industry has entered a critical phase of transformation. In response to the evolving global supply chain, ASE is proactively driving industrial upgrades. The commencement of the Renwu plant serves as a vital economic engine and a beacon of technological leadership,”says Dr. Tien Wu, CEO of ASE.
Key highlights of the investment include:
- Capital Investment: Over NT$108.3 billion
- Projected Annual Output: Approximately NT$177.3 billion upon full operation
- Smart Manufacturing: The facility will integrate AI smart manufacturing, including visual cloud inspection systems and fully automated AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles)
- Sustainability: Designed in compliance with the Kaohsiung Green Building Autonomy Ordinance, the factory will utilize clean production assessments to achieve a “green energy, zero-pollution” smart factory status
Looking ahead, ASE will provide comprehensive wafer and chip testing services at the Renwu site.
- Phase I: Scheduled to begin operations in April 2027
- Phase II: Expansion and operations expected by October 2027
The eco-friendly, high-tech green building underscores ASE’s commitment to its net-zero transition. It also aims to attract and retain top semiconductor talent in Kaohsiung by creating high-value job opportunities, while fostering a powerful collaboration across industry, government, and academia.
Strengthening the “Semiconductor S Corridor ” and Taiwan’s Silicon Shield
With over 40 years of deep roots in Taiwan, ASE continues to refine manufacturing processes, enhance yields, and advance automation. By embedding sustainability and digital transformation across its supply chain, ASE’s collaboration with WinWay and HTT in Renwu drives the localization of key components and hi-tech advanced packaging equipment.
This strategic move is a key component in advancing the Kaohsiung City Government’s Silicon Photonics ecosystem and the broader Southern Semiconductor S Corridor. By shortening supply chain distances and strengthening technical capabilities, it reinforces the resilience and global significance of Taiwan’s Silicon Shield.
