Gore Performance Solutions — Semiconductor

Semiconductor industry. They have such a high requirements, probably the the highest requirements across all the industries. The challenges we try to overcome is huge. So that requires a lot of expertise in material science. That's why customers come to go for those solutions. So within the semiconductor industry, it is very collaborative. And it's really important to have those stronger relationships and understanding of their problems so that we can then translate it to what materials might be required to be developed to meet their needs.

I think there is one rule, but still very valid element of core, which is the power of the small team. We are able to put together a sort of task force, able to analyze and putting together all the necessary capability to understand technical, while giving under 10% on a specific issue, allocating all the necessary resources, and be sure that we stay ahead of the program.

Or, you know, we have deep roots and material science dating back to, you know, the early days of TTF development. And now we're exploring even more material sets. We have a good core competency in a lot of different material science areas, and there's a lot of overlap between our different businesses. So when we work with a semiconductor engineer, we don't just get knowledge from all right, well, we make this material specifically for semiconductors.

You're working with people that have worked in electronics, semiconductors, industrial applications that can bring kind of that whole wealth of knowledge of, hey, we have this material that might work over here really well, and now we're hearing this clear need from a semiconductor engineer, and then we can maybe bring that material to a new space and help solve their problems.

They're not just looking for a supplier of material or products. I think what they're really looking for is a solution provide. So when they run into challenges, they will come to us. Then they expect us to work with them and to deal with that challenge. And they know that core can really bring material science to address their problems.
