Heraeus Materials Singapore celebrated its 40th anniversary on 1 August 2025 at Conrad Singapore Marina Bay, highlighting its journey of innovation and partnership. The event showcased Heraeus’ commitment to addressing industry challenges through a three-pronged innovation strategy: miniaturisation, new material development, and sustainability. The company emphasised its role in advancing semiconductor packaging materials, crucial for AI, data centres, and electric vehicles.
The celebration underscored Heraeus’ dedication to sustainability, with a roadmap to reduce emissions by 2030. This includes using recycled gold and tin, significantly cutting CO₂ emissions. Heraeus also announced an AI-driven materials development programme to enhance product customisation and reduce development time.
Singapore remains central to Heraeus’ global strategy, serving as a hub for research, development, and collaboration. The company has strong partnerships with EDB Singapore, local universities, and ecosystem partners. Li-San Chan, Global Business Line Head – Semiconductor Materials, stated, “Customers want lower cost, faster delivery, and constant innovation. Our answer is to integrate people, process, and technology, not just to create better materials, but to become a trusted, reliable partner they can build with.”
The semiconductor market is poised for accelerated growth, driven by AI and wireless technologies. Heraeus projects the packaging market to grow from $64.2 billion (£50.3 billion) in 2024 to $123 billion (£96.3 billion) by 2029. Despite geopolitical uncertainties, the automotive sector is expected to grow by 5–7%.
Heraeus’ 40th anniversary not only celebrates past achievements but also reaffirms its commitment to future innovations in advanced materials.
