CHawk Technology, the preferred global choice for precision components, subsystems, and fully integrated assemblies supporting semiconductor and healthcare products, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony recently for the opening of its new “GTI Vietnam” hub, a 51,000-square-foot facility with robotic plating lines and class 10k and class 100 cleanrooms.
CHawk, the parent of Gold Tech Industries (GTI), has manufacturing facilities in Singapore; Johor Bahru, Malaysia; Suzhou, China; and Hayward and Fremont Calif., in addition to an existing GTI operation in Tempe, Ariz. (GTI Tempe). With the addition of a new GTI Vietnam hub, CHawk will leverage its strong Silicon Valley-based management team with decades of experience in the semiconductor industry to bring critical gold plating, ultra-high purity (UHP) stainless steel orbital welding, and cleanroom manufacturing services closer to customers in Southeast Asia.
One of CHawk’s specialties is a proprietary and highly specialized gold plating service, a capability the company intends to triple its US output with the addition of the new GTI Vietnam site. The facility will house a 6,760-square-foot class 10k cleanroom and a 1,357-square-foot class 100 cleanroom for assembly and UHP stainless steel orbital welding.
