Camfil, a global leader in clean air solutions, has launched a new Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) air filter regeneration service center in the Machouhou Industrial Park, Chiayi, Taiwan.

Spanning 10,000 square meters, this state-of-the-art facility is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of the semiconductor industry, utilizing advanced processes and equipment to uphold Camfil's commitment to environmental sustainability. The center is expected to create 300 jobs, significantly boosting the local economy. The inauguration ceremony took place on 10 September 2024.

Prominent attendees at the ceremony included Chiayi County Mayor Mr. Weng Chang-Liang, legislator Ms. Wang Yu-Min, alongside Camfil's CEO Mr. Mark Simmons, Chairman Mr. Alan O’Connell, EVP of Supply Chain Mr. Stefan Larsson, and Deputy EVP of Supply Chain Mr. Dan Larson.

During the event, Mr. Mark Simmons emphasized Camfil's leadership in the semiconductor industry, stating, "We chose Chiayi for its strategic advantages, the proximity to our major semiconductor customers allows us to collaborate more effectively and closely."

Clean Air – A Human Right

Driven by the belief that "clean air is a human right," Camfil has been committed to ensuring cleaner air in industrial and commercial settings for over half a century. Camfil offers a wide range of clean air solutions that align with a global vision for sustainability, focusing on the health of humanity and the planet.

Camfil established Camfil Taiwan Co., Ltd. in Taipei in 2003, providing high-quality Clean Air Solutions across multiple sectors, including semiconductors, life sciences, healthcare, petrochemicals, commercial applications, industrial dust filtration and gas turbine machinery. With the rapid growth of the semiconductor and AI industries, Camfil Taiwan Co., Ltd. has become a leader in the semiconductor chemical air filters market. The new facility in Chiayi further solidifies Camfil’s commitment to sustainable development, with a focus on the regeneration filter business, marking a significant milestone in the field of airborne molecular contamination.

Pioneering Sustainable Solutions for the Future

Reflecting on the company's forward-thinking approach, Camfil recognized a decade ago that sustainable filter solutions were essential for the future of the microelectronics industry.

Dr Guillaume Gallet, Camfil’s MCC President, remarked, “15 years ago, Camfil realized that in addition to providing clean air, sustainable filter solutions would be part of the future of the microelectronic industry whilst saving energy, reducing waste and ensuring product circularity to reduce the carbon dioxide footprint of our air filters. After several years of research and development, we were the first company to patent highly scalable regenerable filter technologies for cleanrooms.”

Camfil leads the way in the circular economy, offering energy-saving and carbon reduction solutions in air filtration. By making filter materials recyclable and reusable, Camfil provides an alternative to disposable AMC chemical air filters. The company’s ESG goals focus on sustainability, energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and resource preservation to minimize operational waste. Camfil regularly publishes Sustainability Reports to highlight its commitment to ESG principles and the circular economy.

The new facility in Chiayi sets a benchmark in the AMC filter industry, positioning Camfil at the forefront of delivering sustainable air filtration solutions for the future.
