Product Description

Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Sumitomo Group—one of the world’s top 500 companies—is a global leader in semiconductor packaging materials, holding the largest market share worldwide for epoxy molding compounds. The company primarily manufactures epoxy molding compounds for integrated circuits and chip‑attach adhesives, offering comprehensive solutions to semiconductor manufacturers and serving as a key materials supplier to the industry.

Suzhou Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd. was established in the Industrial Park in 1995 and was among the first foreign-invested enterprises to locate there. The company’s project to produce epoxy molding compounds (EME) for semiconductor packaging is a key component of its industrial ecosystem development. The site is situated at the intersection of Jiepu Road East and Jinsheng Road North within the Suzhou Industrial Park, covering approximately 85 mu of land and being developed in two phases. Phase I has now been completed. Built to three-star green building standards, the industrial park incorporates advanced engineering automation, an AI/IoT‑based management system, high‑efficiency energy‑saving technologies, and state‑of‑the‑art environmental protection equipment, making it a safe, eco‑friendly, and energy‑efficient facility.

Overall layout, graceful flow lines

The epoxy molding compound (EME) production project for semiconductor packaging at Suzhou Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd. is a multifunctional, integrated campus that combines manufacturing, R&D and production, and corporate headquarters operations. Drawing on current trends in industrial park development and the site’s unique geographical conditions, the design adopts the concept of “An Industrial Valley, a Smart Manufacturing Hub.” The overall layout centers on the core production workshops, with manufacturing and R&D facilities, logistical support areas, and office spaces arranged in a circulatory pattern around them, creating a radiating, open‑plan configuration. The R&D and office complex is configured as a series of slab‑type buildings facing the main street façade to the north, while a visual corridor is left in the middle to naturally guide pedestrian flow into the internal landscape features, fostering a spatial experience that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor environments.

Joint production and development, with a balanced approach of tension and relaxation.

The park’s office building and R&D workshop are arranged around the central production facility, creating a continuous yet dynamically varied interface. The design employs public spaces to unify the overall composition: the outer ring of buildings is dedicated to R&D and manufacturing, while the inner workshops are connected via shared corridors that link supporting facilities and R&D departments, resulting in an architectural form reminiscent of a mountain stream—high in the center and gently sloping toward the edges. The overall layout strikes a balance between density and openness: internal production areas are tightly integrated, while external spaces are deliberately left open to create a spatial rhythm that alternates between tension and relaxation.

Rigorous and pragmatic, efficient and convenient

The circulation design of modern industrial parks is a critical component in ensuring efficient R&D and production. The design prioritizes the creation of clear, user‑friendly traffic flows within medium- and large‑scale facilities, while also fostering a comfortable, safe, and pedestrian‑friendly environment. Logistics routes are routed along the outer perimeter road, ensuring that each workshop has its own dedicated loading and unloading area. Conventional motorized and non‑motorized vehicle streams enter the site via external access roads and proceed to designated parking zones, thereby preserving a secure, open pedestrian space. Pedestrian pathways originate at the central main entrance and, through landscaped transitional spaces, lead into the individual building clusters. Pedestrians and vehicles, as well as passenger and freight traffic, are segregated to prevent interference.

Energy conservation and environmental protection, intelligent manufacturing

The park is constructed in accordance with the three-star green building standard, aiming to create high-quality architecture that conserves resources, protects the environment, reduces pollution, and provides users with healthy, functional, and efficient spaces, thereby maximizing the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.

The project is designed and constructed around the core concept of a “green factory.” It incorporates a solar water‑heating system, a rainwater‑harvesting system, and a solar photovoltaic power‑generation system, which together significantly reduce energy and water consumption during operation. In addition, an energy management system is in place to monitor the plant’s energy use in real time, facilitating more effective energy‑saving management.

Owner’s Thank You

On the journey of design, every acknowledgment serves as a driving force, not only affirming our work but also bearing witness to the exceptional craftsmanship we have consistently upheld.

From meticulous planning to painstaking drafting, from innovative design to rigorous review, every member of the design institute infuses each project with soul through professionalism and passion. This letter of gratitude stands as a shining badge of honor, inspiring us to press forward with courage on the path of design.
