NEW DELHI: MW Zander, one of the world’s largest builders of hi-tech buildings and industrial plants, is all set to give shape to India’s semiconductor industry.
MW Zander will design and construct the assembly test and mark plant (ATMP) of the $3.5 AMD-SemIndia fab. Besides, the company is also in talks with Hindustan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation to set up its 10 proposed foundries worth $4 billion.
Worldover, MW Zander builds semiconductor facilities for Intel, AMD, Infineon, Chartered. It also provides services to the world’s largest chip foundry — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC).
“We are designing SemIndia’s ATMP facility. We are also in talks with HSMC and SemIndia to design their facilities. Globally, facilities management and design constitutes about 25-30% of total project cost. We expect the same in India, “ MW Zander’s managing director Helmut Kurzboeck told ET.
Going by these calcualtions, the HSMC fab may yield $1 billion for MW Zander. The SemIndia fab proposed to be set up at a cost of $3.5 billion may yield $875 million in revenues for the company. “Of course, these revenues will flow over a period of many years,” Mr Kurzboeck added.
