Suppliers and contractors are important partners of Ardentec, and through close collaboration, we jointly pursue sustainable business operations and growth. Apart from the semiconductor testing equipment, which relies on the countries where the equipment is manufactured, one of the main procurement policies for the headquarters and subsidiaries is local sourcing. Except where customers specify otherwise, we strive to use local suppliers in the regions where our operational sites are located, maximizing the efficiency of various resources and services while supporting local employment opportunities and economic stability. In addition to testing equipment and customer-designated suppliers, Ardentec fully supports localized procurement. Ardentec's headquarters in Taiwan operates five manufacturing plants, making it the most important operational base within the group. In terms of materials and packaging, the local procurement rate (in Taiwan) at the headquarters reached 90% in 2024.
