Air Liquide’s EMCC Celebrates 10th Anniversary and Phase III Completion

On September 11, Air Liquide’s Electronic Materials Center China (EMCC), located in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, celebrated its 10th anniversary as well as its Phase III completion.
In its latest expansion, the EMCC launched a new neon product line with a capacity of 60 000 m3 — the first of its kind in Air Liquide Asia Pacific region. The purification process and critical equipment of the new facility are designed, developed and manufactured by Air Liquide Group,  ensuring the production of high-purity and reliable neon. Neon is a key element for the production of excimer laser gases, which are widely used in the semiconductor industry.
The EMCC now serves as Air Liquide’s center for electronic materials production, analytical and quality management, supply chain management, and emergency response in China. With state-of-the-art processes and equipment, as well as highly efficient and specialized management systems, the EMCC allows Air Liquide to provide electronic customers with high quality, safe, reliable, and competitive electronic materials and value-added services.
EMCC was set up in 2007 in Zhangjiagang, due to its convenient location within East China’s electronics manufacturing hub. Over the past decade, EMCC has grown with its customers in the semiconductor, flat panel display and photovoltaic industries, and is now upgrading in response to ongoing market changes.
