Japan-based gas and engineering firm Air Water Inc. (Air Water) has expanded its operations in Taiwan following a USD$2m investment into Hong-Kuang Hi-Tech Co., Ltd (HK), a semiconductor-related gas dealer headquartered in the country.
Through its group company Air Water Materials Inc. (AWM), the Japanese company took a stake in HK on April 8th, marking a move to cement its position as a general semiconductor-related manufacturer.
