As a vast and magnificent country with a population of 1.3 billion, China has witnessed a booming development of the labor-intensive enterprises, which contributed a lot initially to her rapid economic development. However, the conventional labor-intensive enterprises were no longer capable of braving the challenge of the knowledge-based economy in the new millennium. China’s economy urgently called for a shift in the direction of development, and accordingly a large amount of global-scale enterprises turned their attention to the mainland and set up their branches here. They are not only offering revenue from tax and providing job opportunities, making it possible that more high-tech based products could be manufactured with the mark of ‘Made in China’, but also bringing valuable managerial expertise and brand-new science and technologies to us. (Shanghai) STATSChippac Co., Ltd is one of them.

(Shanghai) Qingpu Contemporary Electronics Co., Ltd, the precursor of (Shanghai) STATSChippac Co., Ltd, was founded in the May of 1994. In 1998 it became a stock company featuring new and advanced technologies exclusively funded by Chippac Co., Ltd. (USA) with the formal name of ‘(Shanghai) STATSChippac Co., Ltd.’, engaged in the packaging and testing services for semi-conductor chips. The company was formally merged with Singapore STATS Electronics Co., Ltd in 2004-8-5, and here became the present one. The company boasts a total investment volume of 293.95 million US dollars and a volume of 149.10 million US dollars of registered capital with more than 2600 staff members dedicated in manufacturing and selling electronic products including mainly semi-conductor components and devices as well as providing relevant technical supporting services.

As one of the newly born high-tech industries, the key of the development of the semi-conductor packaging industry lies in the advanced facilities and a set of professional and talented personnel with modernized managerial expertise and rich experience. (Shanghai) STATSChippac Co., Ltd. is striving with great pace to build up a world-class enterprise environment both in the software level and hardware level by large-scale investments, so as to sharpen the competitive edge and continuously progressing and improving itself.

Our company endeavored to reduce the manufacturing period, preparation time for import and export procedures and the time needed for delivery in order to shorten the supply cycle. Now, our company’s average manufacturing period is 3 days and the average supply cycle is 6 days. That is to say, only 6 days are needed for us to complete the whole process from accepting the order to manufacturing and making the supply available, including the apply to customs of import and export. The manufacturing period is counted by units of hour and minute instead of month and day inside (Shanghai) STATSChippac Co., Ltd.  Our company has dug every potential means to increase the ratio of the finished product as well as raise the laboring productivity from ourselves by emphasizing the check and supervision of the parameters of the machinery and equipments, strengthening the training for the staff members, improving technique processes, seeking for an optimum solution and ensuring its implementation.
