New Taiwan Industrial park

05/01/1997

New Taiwan industrial park. The new Tainan Science-based Industrial Park facility, located in southwestern Taiwan, will likely be home to several major wafer fabs. The Taiwanese federal administration has already started construction of infrastructure in the new Tainan park; between 22 and 30 plants are expected to start business there in the spring of 1998, and several medium-sized firms are planning construction as early as the end of the year. Both Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and the United Microelectronics Corp. are expected to break ground for their new fabs at the Tainan park in June.
