Business Wire
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (ASE, TAIEX: 2311,
NYSE: ASX), the leading provider of semiconductor assembly and test
services, today announced that its Kaohsiung facility in Taiwan has
achieved ISO 28000:2007 certification through SGS, a globally
acclaimed accreditation organization. The ISO 28000:2007 standard
sets the framework for a security management system that enhances
the security of the supply chain, transportation and logistics
systems. ISO 28000 accreditation demonstrates that a company has
put in place robust processes that are compliant with the
international standards for security management. Four of ASE
Kaohsiung’s factories; K7, K8, K10 and K15 were duly certified in
September this year.
ASE serves over 400 customers worldwide, including many top tier
semiconductor customers that design leading edge products.
Customers expect not only quality and service from ASE in IC
assembly and test manufacturing, but also assurances in the
security of handling and transporting their products from
end-to-end. Since March 2016, ASE has taken steps to incorporate
best practices in logistics and transportation security as part of
its business continuity management. Assessment and compliance with
the ISO 28000:2007 standards help ASE develop resilience within the
supply chain.
“ASE Kaohsiung’s ISO 28000 accreditation underscores ASE’s
continuous pursuit to be a world class outsourced assembly and test
service provider and a company that adheres to established global
standards covering quality and security management,” said KC Chou,
Senior VP, ASE Kaohsiung. “Customers and our major stakeholders are
further assured of our company’s commitment to improve the security
of the supply chain as well as raise the credibility of the ASE
brand,” he added.
Managing businesses in a global environment has become more
complex in the twenty-first century, and companies face more risks
and uncertainty from natural disasters, terrorism, theft, and cyber
threats that can destabilize and disrupt the supply chain. Besides
the ISO 28000 accreditation, ASE also achieved certification for
ISO 15408-EAL6 Common Criteria in November 2015. The ISO 15408-EAL6
provides ASE’s customers and employees with an added level of
security from any theft of physical or intellectual property. To
ensure minimal impact and loss from any external factors, ASE
invests in resources to develop more secure, sustainable and
resilient forms of management processes and continues to benchmark
its practices with internationally acclaimed standards.
