SEMITEC was established in 1958 and is striving to be “forever a startup company”.
Thanks to this mindset, we have been able to establish sales and manufacturing facilities in many countries and regions and have grown to a total of 3,709 employees worldwide (as of March 31, 2021). As a company gets bigger, however, it can develop a rigid way of thinking over time, which prevents it from keeping pace with the speed of technological innovation. That is why it is crucial to always have a sense of crisis and equip yourself with an entrepreneurial spirit to continue pursuing the unknown.
To this end, we have established our corporate philosophy to “challenge the limits of imagination, pursue higher levels of technology, improve yourself, improve the company, increase the company’s value to society, increase your value to the company, pursue the company’s growth and your happiness”. These guiding principles were introduced back in October of 1991, but the mindset here is universal and has remained intact despite the passage of time.
