Toyo-Korea Awarded Contract for Anhydrous Hydrogen Fluoride Production Facility in Ulsan, South KoreaMar. 31, 2025
Toyo Engineering Korea Limited (President and CEO Yoshinari Miyazaki, Toyo-Korea), a subsidiary of Toyo Engineering Corporation (President and CEO Eiji Hosoi, TOYO), has been awarded a contract by BGFecospecialty (BGFesp) for the construction of the plant to produce 50,000 tons per year of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (AHF)*. Toyo-Korea will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the said plant.
AHF is a critical material used in semiconductor manufacturing. As the global semiconductor market continues to expand, the FISCHER Project represents a significant step for BGFesp in strengthening its position in the high-value semiconductor materials market. This marks Toyo-Korea's notable achievement in plant construction for semiconductor-related raw materials, and the company plans to further strengthen its engagement in this sector moving forward.
Toyo-Korea remains committed to supporting BGFesp’s business growth and contributing to the sustainable growth of the global community through advanced engineering solutions.
Project Overview
- Client: BGFecospecialty (BGFesp)
- Contractor: Toyo Engineering Korea Limited (Toyo-Korea)
- Location: Ulsan, Korea
- Facility: Anhydrous Hydrogen Fluoride (AHF) Production Plant (50,000 tons/year)
- Scope of Work: Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC)
- Completion: Scheduled for 2026
* Anhydrous Hydrogen Fluoride (AHF)
Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (AHF) is a crucial raw material for a wide range of fluorine-based products, including those used in semiconductors, secondary batteries, and general industrial applications. With the completion of this project, BGFesp will achieve self-sufficiency in AHF production, using it as a raw material for fluorine (F2) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) at its own facility, while also supplying surplus AHF to domestic and international markets.
