In the year 2000, foreseeing the bright prospects in Micro-Electro-Mechanical System development, Walsin Lihwa Group incubated a talented team with both technical expertise and entrepreneurial spirit, pioneering in MEMS technology development. The Team was expanded the following year and became the MEMS Business Unit (MEMS BU) in Walsin. The base of operations, the world first 8-inch MEMS foundry plant, was established at the Taoyuan Youth Industrial Park in Yangmei.
