New York-based filtration, separation and purification technology provider, Pall Corporation will soon construct its new manufacturing facility in western Singapore, focused on solutions to serve advanced nodes for semiconductor manufacturers. The company is infusing over $100 million for the first phase of expansion, which will be followed by subsequent investments over the course of construction.
The state-of-the-art facility spread over seven-acre campus will produce lithography and wet-etch filtration, purification and separation solutions that will help meet the high demand for advanced node solutions.
“The world is undergoing exponential growth in data generation, processing and storage due to increasing demands from wireless communications, the Internet of Things, automotive technology (autonomy, electrification and connectivity), cloud computing and artificial intelligence/deep learning. This facility will help support the rapid pace of innovation necessary for our customers to meet growing end market demand,” said Naresh Narasimhan, President of Pall Corporation.
The first phase of construction will begin in the summer 2022. High-volume manufacturing (HVM) capability will be completed between 2023 and early 2024, with additional capacity being added in subsequent years as the site undergoes a phased ramp to its full potential. When completed, the site will more than double Pall’s current installed capacity for manufacturing microelectronics filtration and purification solutions.
“With the construction of this new facility, we will bring a greater percentage of our manufacturing capacity closer to the manufacturing base of the majority of our customers, which will help reduce supply chain complexity and risk,” said Shangaza Dasent, Vice President/General Manager of Pall’s Microelectronics business unit.
To support the new site, the company plans to hire more than 300 employees with science, engineering and manufacturing experience.
Tan Kong Hwee, Executive Vice President of the Singapore Economic Development Board commented, “Pall’s new manufacturing facility in Singapore that supplies filtration solutions for advanced semiconductor manufacturing will strengthen Singapore’s semiconductor ecosystem and deepen our role in the global supply chain for semiconductors. It is also a testament to the growing business and job opportunities for Singaporeans in this exciting high-tech industry. We are delighted to be working with Pall on their growth plans.”
