Fujifilm Electronic Materials will invest around €25 million into its Zwijndrecht facility in order to expand production capacity, the company announced on Wednesday.
Fujifilm Electronic Materials is a subsidiary of the Japanese company Fujifilm and employs at least 200 people at its site in Zwijndrecht (East Flanders).
The company has announced its intention to install new production facilities for advanced semiconductor materials and upgrade existing facilities for photolithography-related materials at the site.
Fujifilm expects the demand for automotive and industrial semiconductors to grow in Europe.
In 2023, Fujifilm Electronic Materials had already announced an investment of €30 million.
"Building on our strategic investment announced in April 2023, which marked a significant milestone with the partial start of production activities last year, this new expansion underscores our commitment to supporting the growth of the European semiconductor industry," said Hans Vloeberghs, President and Managing Director of Fujifilm Electronic Materials Europe.
