Registered capital is 200 million yuan! SMIC, Huahong Group and others established international supply chain center for electronic materials

[ Gearbest Technology News]On May 20, Shanghai Electronic Materials International Supply Chain Center Co., Ltd., jointly invested by many leading domestic semiconductor and chemical companies, was officially established. According to the Tianyancha App information, the legal representative of the company is Gu Chunlin, with a registered capital of 200 million yuan, and its business scope covers Internet sales, sales of electronic special materials, wholesale of electronic components, retail of electronic components, etc. This is the first collaborative platform for the domestic semiconductor industry chain in the field of electronic materials created by a multi-field “national team” and industrial capital. It marks an important strategic step in the industry chain from domestic substitution to independent control of the supply chain.

GearbestTechnology learned that the investment lineup of Shanghai Electronic Materials International Supply Chain Center Co., Ltd. is led by two chip manufacturing giants. Semiconductor Manufacturing International Holdings Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Huahong Investment Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Huahong Group, are deeply involved in the industry as the core, driving upstream link reinforcements from the chip manufacturing side. At the same time, the addition of another core shareholder, Shanghai Huayi Holding Group Co., Ltd., provides direct support for the key chemical underlying technologies required for semiconductor materials. In addition, Shanghai Hongming Digital Technology Co., Ltd. will provide supply chain digitalization technical support, while Shanghai Chemical Industry Zone Enterprise Development Co., Ltd. will provide abundant industrial carrying space for the project, jointly building a solid foundation for the platform.

Industry insiders pointed out that in the past few years, although a number of domestic suppliers have emerged in the domestic semiconductor industry in the fields of electronic special gases, photoresists, and wet electronic chemicals, they often face the bottleneck of “capable of producing but afraid to use it, capable of using it but low efficiency” due to the lack of in-depth collaboration with downstream manufacturing companies. The establishment of this “chain master” platform that integrates production (manufacturing), technology (chemical industry and digitalization), land (park), and commerce (trade circulation) is a good way to solve this core pain point. The platform was established to bridge the two major hurdles of standard certification and multi-field coordination. It aims to create a unified “testing ground” and “certification center” for domestic electronic materials, so that more local materials can quickly and standardizedly enter the procurement system of leading companies, and remove the obstacles of “differentiated specifications and standards”; at the same time, by building a unified procurement platform, using the advantages of large-scale centralized procurement to reduce the supply chain management and logistics costs of a single company, and enhance the bargaining power of the entire industry facing upstream suppliers and overseas transportation risks.
