We are pleased to announce that Dr. Reiner Haus, Managing Director of ANZAPLAN, will be speaking at SEMICON Europa 2025 (Munich, Nov 18-21) — the leading platform shaping the future of Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem.
His presentation will address one of the industry’s least visible yet most critical vulnerabilities: the global dependence on a few high-purity quartz (HPQ) sources concentrated around Spruce Pine, North Carolina — a single-region exposure that threatens the stability of the entire semiconductor value chain.
Drawing on ANZAPLAN’s 30 years of HPQ expertise across more than 100 projects worldwide, Dr. Haus will outline how operational and commercial risks — from geopolitical pressures and market concentration to disaster disruptions like Hurricane Helene (2024) — can be turned into a managed advantage.
His talk will present a necessary de-risking playbook for European fabs — covering dual sourcing, strategic inventory, accelerated qualifications, circularity, and supplier development — to build a more robust and sustainable semiconductor materials supply chain.
Let’s connect in Munich to discuss how advanced processing expertise and strategic material design can strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty.
