About Gudeng Precision

Gudeng Precision Industrial Co., Ltd. operates as a specialized manufacturer and integrated service provider within the semiconductor equipment sector. Founded in March 1998 and headquartered in New Taipei City, Taiwan, the company has transitioned from a traditional mold factory into a global supplier. The firm is publicly held, listed on the Taipei Exchange (TPEX) under the ticker symbol 3680.

The company, led by Chairman and CEO Qiu Mingqian, focuses on providing comprehensive solutions for the protection, transfer, and storage of photomasks and wafers. Its business is structured into two main segments: semiconductor manufacturing and semiconductor equipment manufacturing. The product portfolio is extensive, featuring solutions for both mask and wafer handling. Key products include extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pods, front-opening unified pods (FOUPs), wafer cassettes, and shipping boxes for various wafer sizes. Gudeng is a significant supplier to major semiconductor manufacturers, including TSMC and Intel, and holds a substantial share of the global EUV pod market. Revenue is primarily generated from the sale of these handling solutions, with a notable portion coming from clients in Taiwan and mainland China.

Beyond manufacturing, Gudeng offers a suite of related services, such as carrier cleaning, contamination testing, and mask management and tracking systems. The company has established a subsidiary, Gudeng Equipment Co., Ltd., to focus on front-end semiconductor process equipment like reticle cleaners and inspection tools. In response to geopolitical shifts and to better serve key customers, Gudeng has been proactive in expanding its global footprint, including plans to establish a production base and supply chain venture in the United States and has a warehouse in Arizona. The company has also expanded its capabilities by acquiring SHOWA PRECISION CO., LTD., entering the PVD vacuum coating field.
