Merck to build $600 million "Megasite" in Kaohsiung

Merck is beefing up its semiconductor production and research and development capabilities in Taiwan to meet growing local and global demand for semiconductors.

Supply chain challenges have beset the industry, Beckmann said.

“Our investment project will help resolve these issues and ensure a strong and high-quality supply chain,” he added.

“The Mega Site will include Merck’s entire line of semiconductor material solutions, including thin film, special gases and other specialized materials,” Merck said in a news release. “In addition, Merck’s current production facilities in Kaohsiung will be expanded.”
