Brewer Science Acquires Heraeus Epurio's Semiconductor Chemicals Business to Strengthen Supply Chain
Brewer Science has completed its acquisition of the semiconductor chemicals business line from Heraeus Epurio, a leader in ultrapure electronic chemicals. This strategic move represents vertical integration into chemical manufacturing and aligns with Brewer Science’s Zero Defects standards for purity and reliability at advanced technology nodes. The acquired operations include a production facility in Dayton, Ohio, along with sales and technical support teams across Asia. The business specializes in photoacid generators, photoinitiators, monomers, crosslinkers, and other ultrapure chemicals essential to next-generation chip manufacturing processes where even minor impurities can lead to defects. This acquisition enhances Brewer Science’s materials science capabilities and expands its U.S.-based research and advanced manufacturing footprint. It follows recent investments such as the Arizona Innovation Center in Chandler, Arizona, reinforcing a broader strategy of strengthening domestic semiconductor supply chain resilience.
