TSMC recognises outstanding suppliers
TSMC has announced the winners of the 2022 TSMC Excellent Performance Awards, recognizing global suppliers who showed outstanding performance in areas including technical cooperation, material development, support for volume production, facility construction management, and quality control.
Market demand for advanced semiconductor technology was strong throughout 2022, but at the same time, the industry faced the challenges of a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and global transportation bottlenecks. In this environment, the operational resilience of the upstream supply chain, the ability to develop precision chemical materials and key tool components, as well as providing sufficient and high-quality production capacity were all crucial for TSMC to continue growing and helping customers unleash innovation.
TSMC and its suppliers deepened cooperation at all levels, including R&D and manufacturing, to drive continuous progress of the supply chain and related industries. With supplier support, TSMC has overcome many challenges and achieved our common goals on time with good quality.
TSMC continues to serve as a responsible corporate citizen and works hand in hand with suppliers to strive for excellence in technology, quality, delivery, environmental protection, human rights, safety and health. To address climate risks, TSMC actively works to improve supply chain climate resilience and does all it can for the development of a responsible, sustainable and low-carbon semiconductor supply chain.
