Our manufacturing network
We believe in the benefits of owning manufacturing facilities and operating them in close proximity with our R&D activities. We have 14 main manufacturing sites in 9 countries in Europe and Asia. Seven are wafer fabrication facilities (front-end) and seven are assembly and test facilities (back-end).
High-tech factories
Highly-digitalized and automated, our fabs and assembly & test facilities use the latest in Industry 4.0 innovation, ensuring the best manufacturing quality and productivity.
Automation & Industry 4.0 innovations
Continuous production
Our highly automated fabs run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Automated transportation
Transportation of material inside the facilities is managed by automated handling systems.
Automated processes
Most of the process starts and dispatching decisions are performed automatically.
Intelligent vehicles
Autonomous intelligent vehicles operate safely alongside people in the factories.
Mixed reality
Mixed reality headsets are used for remote maintenance in our facilities.
Key digital transformation initiatives
Data is central to our manufacturing processes. We are actively engaged in digital transformation, leveraging technology advancements to improve resource utilization, increase yield, and reduce costs.
Supply chain
Re-engineering our supply chain with an adaptive demand-driven model to better meet our customer needs.
Product lifecycle management
Connecting product-related information and processes for a more efficient and effective innovation engine.
Manufacturing data analytics
Industrializing our manufacturing data & analytics capabilities to optimize productivity and quality.
Energy.
100% renewable energy by 2027.
Water.
42% water recycling rate in 2022.
Waste.
95% of waste reused or recycled in 2022.
Manufacturing & the environment.
ST has been working on minimizing the impact of its operations on the environment for nearly 30 years. Programs are in place in all our manufacturing sites to reduce energy usage and direct and indirect emissions, optimize our water management, reduce waste, and promote a circular economy.
