“Our action plan is broken up into three points of focus: researching, upgrading, and investing.

“As we have been in a constant exchange with industry leaders, we are now accelerating our product development and have already established a leading position to immediately supply high-quality substrates the chip industry’s R&D [research and development] teams need.”

More specifically, these three aforementioned points include product innovations, upgrading existing substrates, and an expansion of the company’s melting and processing facilities.

One key focus is to upgrade existing glass substrates by improving their geometric tolerances, achieving exceptional flatness, and adding maximum versatility to the format.

SCHOTT will also expand its capacities and capabilities at its facilities in Europe and Asia.
