Japanese semiconductor equipment maker Screen expands into Indian market

Screen Holdings Co., Ltd., a major supplier of manufacturing equipment for semiconductor and display panel production, is targeting increased engagement with India's emerging electronics industry. The company's move comes as India has positioned itself as an alternative to traditional chip manufacturing centers, supported by government incentives and infrastructure development.

The expansion into India represents Screen's strategic push to capture opportunities in a region experiencing rapid growth in semiconductor demand and manufacturing capacity. India has launched several initiatives to boost domestic chip production and reduce reliance on imports, creating opportunities for equipment suppliers in the supply chain.

Screen, headquartered in Kyoto, Japan, specializes in production equipment for semiconductors and liquid crystal displays. The company serves global clients and has long maintained operations across major manufacturing regions in Asia, Europe, and North America.

India's push to develop indigenous semiconductor capabilities has attracted numerous international manufacturers and suppliers seeking to establish footholds in the growing market. The country's combination of a large domestic consumer base, government support, and competitive labor costs has made it an increasingly attractive destination for tech industry investment in recent years.
