The Pingzhen Industrial Park in Taoyuan is gaining new momentum. On the 20th, CHPT (Chunghwa Precision Test Tech. Co., Ltd.) announced the groundbreaking ceremony for the third Pingzhen new plant at Taoyuan Pingzhen Industrial Park, officially launching a new phase of capacity expansion and R&D. The project involves an investment of approximately NT$1.64 billion and will feature a facility with one basement level and seven above-ground floors. The new plant will focus on enhancing advanced wafer-testing technologies and production capacity and is expected to create approximately 300 local job opportunities.
Mr. Liang You-Wen, Director of the Taipei Branch of the Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), noted that CHPT has long been dedicated to high-speed testing technologies and plays a critical role in quality assurance within the semiconductor supply chain. The company not only helps customers improve product yield and performance, but also contributes to strengthening Taiwan's overall semiconductor competitiveness. Amid evolving global industry dynamics, CHPT's continued investment and capacity expansion in Taiwan demonstrate strong confidence in the country's industrial development.
According to the Taipei Branch of the BIP, CHPT is one of the world's leading suppliers of semiconductor testing interfaces. The company has long focused on the development of wafer probe cards and testing solutions, with applications spanning artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, high-performance computing (HPC), and automotive electronics. As advanced manufacturing processes drive increasing demand for high-frequency and high-speed testing, the new facility will expand production capacity and deepen R&D capabilities. This will enable CHPT to provide global IC design houses and foundries with high-precision and high-reliability testing solutions, further reinforcing Taiwan's competitive edge in the global semiconductor supply chain. The Taipei Branch also noted that this project is the first in the Pingzhen Industrial Park to be approved under the "Industrial Zone Revitalization and Vertical Expansion Program." With an approved 31.5% floor area ratio incentive, the project enhances land-use efficiency and promotes park upgrading and redevelopment.
The groundbreaking ceremony was jointly hosted by Chairman Hung Wei-Kuo and President Huang Shui-Ko of CHPT. Distinguished attendees included Mr. Lian You-Wen, Director of the BIP Taipei Branch; Mr. Chang Cheng, Director-General of the Economic Development of the Taoyuan City Government; as well as representatives from industry, government, and academia. The launch of CHPT's third Pingzhen plant marks another milestone in the continued advancement of Taiwan's semiconductor testing industry toward higher-end development.
