Domestic and foreign supply chain representatives attended the ceremony to show their strong support and expectations for T&T Alliance.          TAZMO is one of the leading semiconductor equipment suppliers in Japan and is renowned for its excellent quality, service, and advanced technology. TAZMO provided a variety of equipment for the semiconductor advanced packaging area and its products were widely adopted by major Foundry and OSAT customers in the world. TAIFLEX is the Global leading supplier of FPC-related materials. Through the keeping investment and research, TAIFLEX has successfully developed materials for semiconductor advanced packaging and the products have been certificated by global OSAT customers. In order to provide the best service to global customers, TAIFLEX has built a 100% owned subsidiary TAiCHEM Materials Corporation to focus on this business. TAZMO and TAIFLEX recognize that there will be great synergy in each other's technology and customer service capabilities. In order to strengthen a cooperative relationship and provide better services to customers, the two parties all agreed to sign the “Memorandum of Understanding on Taiwan-Japan Semiconductor Cooperation” and build the Taiwan-Japan Semiconductor Industrial Cooperation Alliance, named the “T&T Industrial Cooperation Alliance”. The T&T Alliance was based on the prefixes of TAZMO and TAIFLEX, to demonstrate the ambition of Japanese equipment manufacturers and Taiwanese advanced materials manufacturers to cooperate through the alliance and integrate each other's resources to strengthen supply chain services. Institutional Investors said that the target customers served by the T&T Alliance include domestic first-tier Foundry and OSAT customers. Through the technical support of Japanese original equipment providers and local real-time service capabilities, the alliance's products and services for customers will be expanded. At present, major international semiconductor manufacturers are expanding their investment in Japan. The establishment of the T&T Alliance means that the close collaboration between the upstream and downstream semiconductor supply chains of Taiwan and Japan will continue to deepen and accelerate the development of products and services to customers. It is believed that with the complementary advantages of Taiwan and Japan enterprises, they will be able to demonstrate strong competitiveness and remain in the leading position of the international semiconductor market. The MOU was signed by TAZMO President Yasuyuki Sato and TAIFLEX Chairman Ta-wen Sun, witnessed by Dr. Johnny Jhong-Ming Huang, chairman of the Institute for Information Industry. In the future, the two parties will jointly develop products and applications in the field of advanced packaging, provide customers with complete and immediate total solutions, and work together to expand the advanced packaging market. It is known that the two parties had set up a joint R&D center in Kaohsiung. (At the same time, TAZMO's Kaohsiung office has also been officially operated.) The collaboration between the two parties will get closer and closer. As the “Southern Semiconductor S Corridor” continued to attract large-scale investment from domestic and international iconic semiconductor companies, the demand for semiconductor advanced packaging technology in AI applications continues to grow rapidly. It is believed that the T&T Alliance could grasp this great opportunity to create a flexible and resilient local supply chain to provide high-quality products and instant services to all customers and keep growing together. Note “Southern Semiconductor S Corridor” is a pillar of the Taiwanese government’s industrial policy and national semiconductor strategy which was proposed in 2021 by the Executive Yuan. The science and technology industrial parks stretching from Tainan City to Kaohsiung City just like the shape of S which links the upstream and downstream of the supply chain, and will become the new hub of the semiconductor industry.

This time, it is estimated that US$35 million will be invested in the first phase of construction in Amata City Chonburi Industrial Estate, Thailand, and mass production is planned for the first half of 2024. Taiflex chose Thailand as the third production base, mainly focusing on the Thai government's active promotion of free trade, and the establishment of "Thailand 4.0", "Eastern Economic Corridor Development Plan" and other policies to support economic and technological growth. Meanwhile, Thailand is strategically located as an important transportation hub in Southeast Asia, which can further enhance the flexibility of logistics planning. In addition, the popularization of higher education in Thailand can continue to provide top talents for the industry, which is conducive to the long-term development of Taiflex in Thailand. The more important thing is that Thailand is also an important automobile manufacturing center in Southeast Asia. It is known as the Detroit of the East. It has a complete automobile supply chain and is the largest automobile manufacturer and exporter in Southeast Asia. In recent years, it has actively promoted the development of the electric vehicle industry. Taiflex has produced materials for electric vehicles for a long time. As the only supplier of FCCL materials with a factory in Thailand, it will become a part of the Thailand vehicle supply chain, realize localized production and provide more immediate services to satisfy the demands of vehicle industry. AMATA Corporation has 30 years of experience in industrial zone development. The output value of the industrial zone developed by the group exceeds 10% of Thailand's overall GDP, ranking in the leading position in the development of industrial and commercial zones in Thailand. Amata City Chonburi Industrial Estate is located in Chonburi Province, southeast of Bangkok, Thailand. It belongs to the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) of Thailand. The total area of the estate is 4,000 hectares, making it the largest industrial estate in Thailand. There are more than 770 companies stationed in it, with a total labor force of more than 210,000 people. It has formed a large-scale industrial cluster, and has completed various functions such as life, leisure, teaching and research.
