Business Philosophy and Vision
In 1986, Chairman Pat Chiao founded Helitek in the United States, initiating the silicon wafer business. The founding team comprised members from Silicon Valley and the domestic semiconductor industry, all with extensive experience in the field. This team laid the foundation for Wafer Works' development in silicon wafers and served as the precursor to Wafer Works. In 1997, Wafer Works was officially established in Taiwan. In 2011, the headquarters was set up in the Longtan Science Park. Over more than 20 years of dedicated effort and commitment to the steady growth of its core business, Wafer Works expanded its production bases to six plants in China. Today, the Company is one of the world's top 10 suppliers of semiconductor silicon wafer materials and one of the top three leaders in heavily doped low-resistance products. The Company boasts advanced semiconductor silicon wafer manufacturing facilities with a total plant area exceeding 120,000 square meters and nearly 2,200 employees worldwide. In 2007, Wafer Works was recognized by Forbes Asia as one of the "Best Under a Billion" companies in the Asia-Pacific region.
Wafer Works firmly believes that only by establishing trustworthy and cooperative partnerships with customers and suppliers, deeply understanding customer needs, and creating close, flexible collaboration mechanisms with suppliers, can we develop innovative products and services that exceed customer expectations. Adhering to strict operational and sales management, Wafer Works has never been heavily fined for violating laws and regulations in the provision and use of its products and services, nor involved in any legal actions related to anti-competitive behavior, antitrust, or monopolistic practices. Customer-centric and committed to our promises, Wafer Works operates with integrity to create and share a win-win-win scenario for the Company, customers, and suppliers. At the same time, we focus on our employees, recruiting and retaining top talent through our core corporate values.
We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive workplace, ensuring that every employee enjoys human rights, skill development, and a safe, friendly work environment, sharing in the Company's success.
With sustainable development as our supreme principle, Wafer Works is dedicated to becoming a customer centric semiconductor material supplier. We endeavor to implement sustainable development through six main pillars: corporate governance, employee well-being, environmental sustainability, customer service, supply chain management, and social engagement. Our continuous efforts aim to provide more services and contributions to society, striving for ongoing improvement in sustainability. Adhering to the concept of corporate sustainability, Wafer Works published its first Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report in 2012. In recent years, as ecological concerns have gained importance, subsequent reports have expanded to cover various aspects of sustainable development and corporate sustainability. This report continues the spirit of previous ones, offering comprehensive information on business strategies, risk management, and environmental management systems. It is fully disclosed to the public and our investment partners, demonstrating Wafer Works' commitment to social responsibility and sustainable development, and sharing the outcomes of our sustainable operations.
