Hermes-Epitek Corporation Pte Ltd

What Hermes-Epitek Corporation Pte Ltd does

Hermes-Epitek Corporation Pte Ltd is the Singapore-anchored Southeast Asia operating entity of the Hermes-Epitek Group, a Taiwan-headquartered high-technology equipment distributor founded over 40 years ago in Hsinchu. The Singapore entity was established on 14 February 1992 and functions as a regional subsidiary distributing semiconductor manufacturing equipment, technical services, and parts across Southeast Asia. The company serves semiconductor wafer fabrication plants and opto-electronic factories, providing front-end (FEOL) and back-end (BEOL) processing equipment, consumables, spares, and 24/7 field service support.

The company's core business is multi-vendor equipment distribution and integration services. It distributes ion implanters (via its own AIBT subsidiary and Sumitomo), CMP and plating systems (EBARA), lithography steppers (ORC), coater/developer systems (C&D Semiconductor), wet processing (Daikin Finetech), advanced packaging tools (Boston Process Technologies), metrology (Bruker), and AOI systems (UTECHZONE), alongside an in-house MOCVD product line. The consumables and parts business spans chamber consumables for diffusion, implant, lithography, etch, CVD, CMP, wet, and PVD processes; ceramic, metal, graphite, quartz, SiC, and silicon parts; and cleanroom/facility supplies. Service offerings include installation, commissioning, performance upgrades, process development support, yield-rate improvement, equipment relocation, repair/overhaul, and round-the-clock technical support.

The commercial model is enterprise B2B with quote-based pricing on equipment sales and time-and-materials or service-contract pricing on technical support. The company sells direct to semiconductor manufacturers through field sales teams across 13 worldwide business locations in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, China, the USA, and Japan. Recent strategic diversification has added third-generation semiconductor materials (GaN, SiC for WBG power applications) and biomedical equipment (BNCT, proton therapy, DNA sensor chips) as adjacent growth vectors. Headcount across the broader group is 1,700+ worldwide, with an installed base of 22,000+ equipment units across 200+ customer plants. The company is privately held with no public revenue disclosure.

Core offering

Hermes-Epitek Corporation Pte Ltd distributes semiconductor and opto-electronic manufacturing equipment, consumables, and parts from over 30 global technology principals, and delivers full-cycle technical services including installation, commissioning, performance upgrades, process development, repair, relocation, and 24/7 technical support to wafer fabrication plants. The Singapore entity is the Southeast Asia regional arm of the Hermes-Epitek Group headquartered in Taiwan, serving fabs across Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, China, USA, and Japan.

Product overview

Hermes-Epitek is a comprehensive semiconductor and opto-electronic equipment distribution and service company that operates as a multi-vendor platform distributing equipment, consumables, parts, and services from over 30 global technology partners. The portfolio is organized around four core areas: Semiconductor and Opto-electronics Equipment Distribution (featuring products from AIBT, EBARA, Mycronic, ORC, Bruker, Cowin DST, and Hermes-Epitek's own MOCVD equipment), Components and Materials (including Si/SiC parts, quartz, and specialty materials from partners), Consumables/Parts Distribution (chamber consumables, facility supplies, and bonding wire), and Technical Services (repair, overhaul, upgrade, and 24/7 support). The company recently expanded into third-generation semiconductor materials (GaN/SiC) for WBG applications and life sciences/biomedicine equipment. As a distributor serving 200+ semiconductor and opto-electronic factories across Taiwan, Southeast Asia, China, USA, and Japan, Hermes-Epitek functions as a partnership network rather than a single unified software product.

Broad incumbents

• ASMPT (ASM Pacific Technology): Hong Kong-headquartered semiconductor and electronics assembly equipment maker with a large Asian installed base. One of the OEMs Hermes-Epitek distributes for, but also a broader incumbent in the regional semi equipment ecosystem.
• Tokyo Electron (TEL): Major Japanese semiconductor equipment OEM with deep Asia field service and installed base. Competes with the principals Hermes-Epitek distributes for, and represents the broader incumbent ecosystem.
• Lam Research: Major US semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment OEM with extensive Asia field service and parts operations. Represents the broader incumbent tier of equipment OEMs whose Asia service ecosystem overlaps with Hermes-Epitek.
• Disco Corporation: Japanese manufacturer of dicing and grinding equipment for semiconductor back-end processing. Closely related equipment OEM whose products flow through Hermes-Epitek-adjacent distribution channels.
• SCREEN Holdings: Japanese semiconductor equipment manufacturer (wafer cleaning, coating) with significant Asia service operations. Adjacent incumbent in the same fab ecosystem Hermes-Epitek serves.
• Marubeni Corporation: Japanese general trading company (sogo shosha) with a semiconductor and electronics equipment distribution arm across Asia. Comparable broad-portfolio distribution and service model, though at much larger conglomerate scale.
• Sumitomo Corporation: Japanese trading company with semiconductor equipment, electronics, and industrial product distribution operations globally. Comparable trading-company-style distribution model serving Asian fabs.

Direct peers

• SurplusGLOBAL: Korea-based semiconductor equipment distributor and refurbisher serving fabs across Asia. Overlaps with Hermes-Epitek on equipment resale, parts, and service for memory and logic manufacturers.
• Kinetics Group: Singapore-headquartered provider of process equipment, facility services, and installation/maintenance support to semiconductor fabs across Asia. Closest geographic and service-model comparable to Hermes-Epitek.

Regional players

• Naura Technology Group: China-headquartered semiconductor equipment manufacturer serving domestic fabs. Comparable in serving the China semiconductor equipment ecosystem but primarily a domestic OEM rather than a multi-principal distributor like Hermes-Epitek.
