“Tekscend” is a coined word combining “technology” and “ascend”.

”Tek” is spelled with a "k" instead of "ch". "K" is the first letter of the word "key", and it expresses our ambition to continue to grow at the forefront of the semiconductor industry by further enhancing our technological capabilities as a leading company of photomasks, which are a key technology in semiconductor manufacturing.

We provide our customers with photomasks, which are key technologies and indispensable for semiconductor manufacturing. Through the advancement and evolution of semiconductors, we strive to solve various technical challenges and the social issues beyond them. The name “Tekscend” expresses our commitment to technological evolution, contribution to society, and continuous growth.

The purpose of the name change is to enhance our recognition as a company with advanced microfabrication technology and to spread our corporate value. This will strengthen our competitiveness in the global market and further deepen the relationship of trust with our customers and partners. In addition, we have decided to change our name at this time to reflect our growth strategy and the rapid changes in the semiconductor market environment.
