KITZ Corporation is set to inaugurate a new factory building at its subsidiary, KITZ Corporation of Vietnam (KCV), aimed at manufacturing high-purity gas-compatible valves for the Semiconductor Equipment market. This strategic move, scheduled to commence operations in November 2025, is geared towards addressing the growing demand for semiconductor equipment with an enhanced production capacity and a steadfast commitment to ensuring a stable and diversified supply chain across various regions.
The investment, totaling 4.5 billion yen (equivalent to USD 30 million), underscores KITZ Corporation’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of the semiconductor industry. The company recognizes the pivotal role of its valves in facilitating long-term sales growth within its targeted Growth market and envisions them as integral components of its Second Mid-term Management Plan (FY 2025-2027).
Currently, a significant portion of standard valves for high-purity gas, crucial for semiconductor manufacturing, is manufactured at KITZ Corporation’s facilities in China. Anticipating a surge in demand within the Semiconductor Equipment market, the decision to establish a new factory building in Vietnam aims to not only bolster production capacity but also ensure supply stability and geographical diversification of production locations.
“We are poised to achieve a substantial 30% increase in production capacity by 2030 through this strategic investment,” stated a company spokesperson. “We are confident that this construction project will not only cater to the growing needs of the semiconductor industry but also serve as a catalyst for the overall growth of our company.”
KITZ Corporation’s proactive approach to expansion and investment underscores its commitment to innovation, reliability, and sustained success in the dynamic semiconductor equipment sector. With a focus on meeting market demands and strengthening its foothold in key growth areas, the company remains well-positioned for future growth and prosperity.
