Shenmao ushers in new manufacturing era with solder innovations

Much like how its products fuse components together to make functional, reliable products that are built to last, solder materials specialist Shenmao Group has been instrumental in building and holding together various industries - from automotive to consumer electronics.

Initially supplying solder paste, solder bars and cored solder bars to the semiconductor sector, Shenmao has matured alongside the industries and technologies it works with. It has become one of the pioneers in the manufacturing of tin-lead and bumping solder pastes, decorating ink for semiconductor packaging use and photovoltaic ribbons essential to the flourishing solar industry.

"Shenmao is an important solder material manufacturer in Asia and has a large worldwide market share," says chairman Lee San-lien. "More than our market position, however, we take pride in having earned the trust and confidence of some of the world's industry leaders."

Shenmao's clients include the world's two biggest integrated circuit manufacturers based in Taiwan and global leaders in electronics manufacturing services.

With a 70 per cent market share in the notebook manufacturing sector, Shenmao supplies to leading Taiwanese and global brands. It also caters to the telecoms, hard drives, servers and other electronics segments. In the automotive sector, it serves Germany's leading parts maker among many other original equipment manufacturers.

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Shenmao is creating another milestone as it intensifies its research and development (R&D) initiatives and expands its manufacturing capabilities.

"R&D is everything in a fast-paced industry such as ours. Keep up with technology - or be kicked out of the market fast," Lee says. "Shenmao focuses on R&D to help our customers, in turn, become the best manufacturers and service providers in their respective fields."
