ACM Research is expanding manufacturing capacity in South Korea with upgraded facilities to serve markets restricted from Chinese-made equipment due to US export controls. The company is also investing in the US to reshape its production footprint amid geopolitical export restrictions targeting its Chinese operations.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must shift supply chains out of China to keep selling in the US and allied markets; building capacity in South Korea opens new sales channels barred to Chinese-made equipment. Reshore and diversify manufacturing now or watch markets close to you.
