DAS Environmental Experts Expands in Arizona

DAS Environmental Experts Group, a prominent global name in environmental technology specializing in waste gas and water treatment, has taken a significant step in enhancing environmental sustainability within the U.S. semiconductor industry with the official opening of its new Innovation Support Center (ISC) in Glendale, Arizona. This strategic move not only marks a pivotal milestone in the company’s North American growth strategy but also emphasizes its commitment to supporting local customers and contributing to Arizona's burgeoning technology ecosystem.

A Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation

The launch of the ISC aims to provide DAS’s U.S. customers with improved service, rapid access to spare parts, and direct engagement with the company's latest innovations. Since its foray into the American market in 2014, DAS has been committed to serving semiconductor and high-tech clients through established locations in Boise, Idaho, and Phoenix, Arizona, as well as service points scattered across Oregon, Utah, Colorado, and Texas. The expansion of the Phoenix office into the new ISC not only represents a testament to DAS's enduring dedication to the region but also lays down the groundwork for future collaborations with regional partners.

René Reichardt, CEO of DAS Environmental Experts Group, articulated the significance of this new center, stating, _"The opening of our Glendale Innovation Support Center is a clear signal of our commitment to the U.S. market. We are investing in Arizona and the U.S. workforce to ensure we can support customers locally with reliable service, spare parts availability, and hands-on technical expertise."_ This newly created facility includes training and classroom areas designed to provide practical experiences with various DAS technologies, thereby elevating customer support to unprecedented heights.

Showcasing Innovations at SEMICON West 2025

Aligned with the opening of the new ISC, DAS Environmental Experts will also be actively participating at SEMICON West 2025, taking place in Phoenix, Arizona, from October 7 to 9. Here, the company will showcase its cutting-edge technologies aimed at waste gas treatment, wastewater management, and recycling processes pertinent to semiconductor production. Among the highlights will be:

• - TSUGA: A stand-alone system for post-combustion waste gas treatment, noted for its high NOx reduction efficiency and minimal NH₃ slip.
• - Turnkey Water Treatment Solutions: Tailored systems optimized for water management and sustainability within the high-tech sector.

Preston Nance, General Manager at DAS US, underlined the dual focus of the ISC and SEMICON West, emphasizing, _"With our presence at SEMICON West and the opening of the Glendale ISC, we are bringing our global expertise directly to the U.S. semiconductor industry. This effort transcends mere technology; it is about partnership—collaborating closely with our customers and partners to develop sustainable solutions for the future."_

Addressing Environmental Challenges in the Semiconductor Industry

The semiconductor and solar industries are witnessing rapid growth, spurred by increased demand for advancements in digitization and energy efficiency. Major investments fueled by the CHIPS and Science Act have added momentum to new chip manufacturing projects across the United States, necessitating an elevated focus on environmental responsibility. Given that semiconductor production is inherently resource-intensive, developing strategies for minimizing emissions and enhancing water management is critical as industries seek sustainable growth pathways.

CEO Reichardt stated, _"With over 30 years of international expertise and a strong U.S. customer base, we are ideally positioned to assist the industry in overcoming these challenges. By uniting reliable, proven technologies with an expanding local presence, we are empowering our clients to lessen their environmental footprint while driving innovation and resource conservation. I am proud of our U.S. division's growth over the past decade, and we are committed to promoting sustainable development within the semiconductor and solar sectors in the United States."_
