Exyte wins prestigious SBR International Business Awards for semiconductor fab project in Singapore

The project is vital in strengthening the global semiconductor supply chain.

Exyte, a global leader in Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of high-tech facilities, took home the Industrial Construction category win at the recently held SBR International Business Awards 2024 for the company’s successful execution of a major semiconductor fab project for Siltronic in Singapore. This notably marks the second consecutive year for Exyte to win the respected accolade. The award honours foreign companies in Singapore and recognises their outstanding projects that successfully earned them a foothold in the Lion City.

The semiconductor fab project, accounting for a total floor area of roughly 20 soccer fields, is a new greenfield manufacturing campus consisting of a wafer fab and a crystal pulling fab, and their related buildings like a Central Utility Building (CUB), administration offices, and other site support infrastructures.

Project execution excellence leading to swift RFE milestones

Exyte’s stand-out project delivery, coupled with a strong collaboration with Siltronic, resulted in the project achieving Ready-For-Equipment (RFE) milestones for both the wafer fab and crystal pulling fab after only 18 months and 22 months, respectively, in April and August 2023. This marks a remarkable project execution speed, especially given the facilities’ high advancement and complexity.

Boosting the resilience of semiconductor supply chain globally

According to Siltronic, the additional capacity will strengthen the global semiconductor supply chain, as such silicon wafers are essential for chip makers to produce semiconductor chips. These chips will be used in consumer electronics such as high-performance computing, wireless communications, automotives, smartphones, and more.

“Since the groundbreaking ceremony of the site back in October 2021, the dedication and efforts displayed by members from both our client and Exyte to realise this leading-edge campus has been nothing short of exceptional. I am proud of the project team and they truly deserve this win,” said Jerry O’Sullivan, Exyte Senior Vice President Operations Southeast Asia.

The project obtained its final Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) two months ago and is expected to receive its Certificate of Statutory Completion (CSC) by the end of May this year.

Congratulations to the project team from Exyte and Siltronic for winning this award.
