About Ichor Holdings, Ltd.

Ichor Holdings, Ltd. specializes in the conception, development, and production of fluid delivery subsystems and their constituent components, tailored for capital equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing. The company's primary focus is on gas and chemical handling systems, which are integral to the fabrication of semiconductor devices. Their gas delivery units are engineered to precisely supply, monitor, and regulate gases for critical processes like etching and deposition. Complementarily, their chemical delivery subsystems accurately blend and dispense reactive liquid chemistries indispensable for operations such as chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP), electroplating, and various cleaning stages in chip production. Furthermore, Ichor manufactures a diverse array of other specialized items for fluid management, encompassing precision machined components, various welded assemblies (including electron beam and laser-welded types), high-precision vacuum and hydrogen brazed elements, advanced surface treatment technologies, and other proprietary solutions. Ichor distributes its offerings both directly and through resellers to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) operating within the semiconductor equipment market. Its operational footprint spans the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Mexico, and other international regions. Founded in 1999, the company's corporate headquarters are located in Fremont, California.
