Join JASH for the Texas-Japan Business Leaders Roundtable, a monthly business and policy program series that spotlights engines of creativity, innovation and economic opportunity in our region while connecting Texas and Japan industry leaders to promote bilateral exchange through shared experiences and diverse insights.

December’s gathering will feature Austin-based Tokyo Electron US Holdings, Inc – a subsidiary of the leading manufacturer of semiconductor production equipment that provides the global market with chip-making systems. 

Semiconductors are a critical component in a range of products from smartphones to automobiles, and their production has become a global priority amid a protracted shortage. As semiconductor fabricators are expanding manufacturing lines to boost supply, equipment makers such as Tokyo Electron that provide the machinery and parts needed to construct the basic building blocks of today’s technology are seeing business expand.

As one of the world’s biggest chipmakers has announced an aggressive plan to expand semiconductor production capacity with a $17 billion factory being created in Taylor, TX, Tokyo Electron US Holdings is now positioned for even greater growth.

Learn from President Larry Smith how Tokyo Electron is working to address the surge in chip demand while helping scale up semiconductor production.
