Svmuu News: Citing an interview with Guo Dongxin, chairman of Hanmei Semiconductor, South Korea’s *Maeil Business Newspaper* reported that, in light of an expected shortage of AI semiconductor equipment starting next year, Hanmei Semiconductor is considering building an eighth production plant, which, once completed, will become the company’s largest facility. Kwak Dong-shin anticipates that demand for semiconductor equipment will exceed supply starting next year. The planned eighth plant will be located adjacent to the seventh plant currently under construction in Incheon.
Hanmi Semiconductor stated that as global chip manufacturers expand their investments, market demand for the company’s hot-press bonding machines and hybrid bonding machines will grow rapidly. The company plans to establish a U.S. subsidiary in San Jose, California, by the end of 2026 to strengthen its technical support services. (Jin Shi)
