[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] After the top semiconductor equipment manufacturers in the United States, Applied Materials, Kelin and Kelei, suspended sales of products to Chinese semiconductor manufacturers and provided maintenance services, the Chinese chip factory begged Japanese companies for assistance, but was rejected.

He Xianhan, president of Japanese semiconductor materials company Ferrotec, confirmed that Chinese chip manufacturers asked Ferrotec to supply the products that the US company had cut off, "but without success."

He Xianhan, president of Japanese semiconductor materials company Ferrotec, said in an exclusive interview with the Financial Times today that considering the needs of the Chinese market, the existing production capacity will still be maintained to meet the needs of China, "in this way, we can continue to be winners."

However, in order to meet the requirements of American customers such as Applied Materials and Kelei, He Xianhan confirmed that he is planning to move the production line outside of China.

In the future, we hope to not only manufacture in China, but also in Japan, Malaysia, and even the United States.

He Xianhan said that due to geopolitical uncertainty, Ferrotec invested 120 million US dollars to build a new factory in Malaysia, which is expected to start production in September next year.

He Xianhan also broke the news that after the United States announced the chip ban last month, Chinese chip factories asked Ferrotec to provide products that American companies could no longer supply, but failed.

I told them that as an OEM, we need to obtain a license from an American manufacturer, and Chinese companies understand our position.
