“The Tainan Manufacturing Centre is one of our biggest investments in Asia and puts Taiwan at the centre of our display and solar equipment technology efforts,” says Mike Splinter, Chairman and CEO of Applied Materials.

“Applied has a 20-year history of success in Taiwan and with this expanded centre, we are setting a strong foundation for even greater success in the next 20 years. I would like to thank our customers, employees and the Taiwan government who helped make this state-of-the-art manufacturing facility possible.”
