BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. (Besi) said it is investing $100 billion globally in semiconductor fabrication (fabs) and related activities, and it is also expanding its footprint in Vietnam. The Netherlands-based company reported that it will begin constructing a new manufacturing base in Vietnam in 2026, with estimated capital expenditure of 10–12 million euros.
Besi said the Vietnam project is valued at about $1 billion. It also stated that it will use renewable energy for its Vietnam operations.
In Vietnam, Besi plans to start building the new manufacturing base in 2026. The company’s estimated capital expenditure for the project is 10–12 million euros.
By the end of 2025, Besi employed 60 official staff in Vietnam, up from 49 in 2024.
Besi’s first operation in Vietnam began in November 2023, after the Ho Chi Minh City High-Tech Park granted an investment certificate. The total project investment was nearly $5 million, with a 50-year duration.
In February 2024, Besi inaugurated a 2,000 m2 factory at the Ho Chi Minh City High-Tech Park. In Phase 1, the company manufactured tools and advanced components for packaging systems used in chip assembly.
In Phase 2, over the next 2–3 years, Besi plans to expand the factory to produce equipment used for chip packaging.
In July 2024, Besi sought permission to expand Phase 2 at the High-Tech Park with a $42 million investment. The Management Board of SHTP deemed the Phase 2 objectives and scale suitable for Lot I-14.6, covering 1.98 hectares, with expected investment in a plant producing equipment used in the semiconductors and chip packaging line.
Besi is headquartered in Duiven, Netherlands. The company operates at seven facilities in Asia and Europe for manufacturing and R&D, and it has ten sales and service offices across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Besi’s activities include the development, production, marketing, and provision of equipment for semiconductor manufacturing for the global semiconductor and electronics industries.
