Site

Our site in Freiberg in Saxony, tracing its origins back to nationally owned Spurenmetalle Freiberg that was founded in 1957, is one of the cradles of silicon production. In 1963, the first silicon crystal was pulled here, positioning the former company as one of the world’s trailblazers in the microelectronics success story. Since 1996, continuous investments have been committed to the Freiberg, creating the world’s most advanced, leading edge production lines for 300mm monocrystals and for 300mm wafers. At present, around 880 people work at the Freiberg plant.
