MKS expands Atotech site in Guangzhou with $25 million investment
MKS is expanding its Atotech equipment manufacturing site in Guangzhou, China, adding around 323,000 square feet of space and aiming to double the site's production capacity by the fourth quarter 2027. The investment totals USD 25 million.
The expansion is driven by AI-related demand – particularly in semiconductor, advanced packaging and advanced PCB applications, where MKS says customers want greater scale, faster turnaround and closer technical collaboration, according to a press release from the company. The new space will integrate with existing operations, adding capacity across production, final assembly, logistics, and testing and validation.
"Expanding our operations in Asia strengthens our ability to support customers in one of the world's most dynamic electronics manufacturing hubs," said Dave Henry, Executive Vice President, Global Strategic Marketing and General Manager, Materials Solutions Division at MKS.
The expansion falls under MKS' Atotech brand, which develops process and manufacturing technologies for surface modification, electroless and electrolytic plating, and surface finishing, serving data centre, consumer electronics, communications infrastructure and automotive markets.
