On March 25, Heraeus Group, a global leading German technology company, officially launched its new quartz manufacturing plant in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province.  

With a total investment of nearly 600 million yuan, the plant is Heraeus’ largest semiconductor project in China. This new plant ranks among the leaders in both production capacity and technology in China, providing robust support for the quality improvement and upgrading of the integrated circuit equipment industry in Liaoning Province and even throughout Northeast China.

Heraeus Group has 17 market-oriented industrial companies. Among these, Heraeus Covantics focuses on the manufacturing and processing of high-purity and ultra-high-purity synthetic quartz products for the semiconductor industry and boasts over 100 years of professional experience. In 1995, Heraeus Group set up a plant in Shenyang, starting a chapter of cooperation between “Made in Germany” and the “Oriental Ruhr”—Shenyang. In order to better serve customers, in October 2022, the construction of the new Heraeus quartz plant project in Shenyang kicked off.

With intelligent and environmentally friendly facilities and techniques, the new plant will optimize its logistics, workforce and information flows to enhance production efficiency. Heraeus Covantics will build the new plant into an advanced manufacturing and innovation base to help drive the development of the semiconductor sector and improve the semiconductor industrial chain in China’s northeastern region.
