ASE plans NT$100 billion expansion across its Luzhu plant phases

Top News · Reported · ctee.com.tw · translated from Chinese

ASE is expanding its Luzhu plant in two phases, with total investment expected to reach about NT$100 billion when fully loaded. The expansion is expected to contribute up to NT$80 billion in annual revenue.

Here’s what is happening:

• Phase 1 has opened after ASE spent NT$6.5 billion acquiring an existing factory building and associated facilities, then integrated the site and built production lines.
• Phase 2 has broken ground, with vibration control, separately configured plant facilities, and space reserved for later expansion.
• ASE also signed a US$9 million agreement with Ainos for 5,000 additional AI Nose systems, which sense chemicals.
• The Ainos order brings the combined total to 6,400 systems, including 1,400 already delivered.

One catch: Phase 2 is still at the groundbreaking stage. The projected annual revenue contribution is for the fully loaded expansion, not the newly opened Phase 1 alone.
