Semiconductor fab logistics - solutions built for lasting success

A Semicon surge

Following the disruption of semiconductor supply chains during the COVID-19 pandemic, governments and companies have taken concerted action to increase their resilience. Governments from the US, China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Europe have announced incentives exceeding $300 billion to establish hundreds of new fabs, assembly test and packaging (ATP) sites and develop their national semiconductor industries.

The more than $2.5 trillion in private-sector investment earmarked for wafer fabrication between 2024 and 2032 is driving a massive construction initiative for fabs and ATP sites globally. Consequently, managing construction logistics with professionals experienced in industry-specific projects has become even more essential.

Kuehne+Nagel’s Project Logistics team offers flexible strategies to meet the speed and demands of the semicon industry. Using effective communication and in-house IT solutions, specialists ensure stakeholders have the visibility needed to deliver equipment and materials safely, on schedule and on budget.
