Suppliers are selected according to pre-determined criteria and are requested to maintain the highest level of quality.
Our development follows stringent concepts based on customer expectations, international standards, and our own rich experiences. Each stage of development is subjected to relevant quality measurements and feedback controls.

KG (merged in May 2022 to form SUSS MicroTec Solutions GmbH & Co. KG) was again successfully implemented in February 2020.

The SUSS MicroTec group currently holds following certificates

RoHS and REACH Conformity

We comply with the European RoHS Directive (Restrictions of the use of Hazardous Substances), which regulates the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. We also meet the requirements of the European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation, which sets limits for critical substances. There is no obligation to register under the REACH regulation, as our semiconductor equipment is not intended for direct contact with humans or the environment.

Environmental Responsibility

SUSS MicroTec is clearly committed to its environmental responsibility, including climate protection. Environmental responsibility and sustainability are values in their own right and an integral part of our business model. Our responsibility extends from component purchasing to the recycling of our used machines.

According to our materiality analysis, the two most important environmental aspects are, on the one hand, the reduction of consumption of raw materials and materials used in the production environment and, on the other hand, the reduction of energy use in our manufacturing and administration.
