Deerns expands Global Footprint in Electronics Market

Deerns is strategically broadening its global reach in the electronics sector, delivering high end clean room design services for electronic manufacturers and institutes

Building on a strong market position in Europe, Deerns is extending its market presence in Clean Rooms for Electronics manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region. This expansion is a testament to our commitment to delivering high-performance solutions that enable people and industries to thrive.

Central to Deerns’ global expansion strategy is the emphasis on building trust and long-term partnerships with clients. Our collaborative approach is built on three pillars:

  • harnessing a multidisciplinary range of skills and knowledge across regions
  • delivering high-quality services
  • maintaining ongoing, transparent communication.

More than a Decade of Internationalisation

Eric Stuiver, Sector Director at Deerns, explains the drive behind Deerns’ ambition to be an international operator in the electronics sector. “Our initial foray into international projects with electronics manufacturers was with a leading semiconductor manufacturer in Taiwan.” He continues: “This proof of project highlighted the importance of developing systems and methods by leveraging the experience of international teams. Add this to maintaining transparency with clients, and we have been able to successfully navigate the challenges of international projects.”

Over the years, Deerns has expanded its presence in countries like Germany and Italy, starting with small projects and gradually building a robust network. The company learned valuable lessons from these experiences, particularly in terms of capacity management and ways of working. This continuous development has positioned Deerns in becoming a key player in the international electronics market.

Leveraging International Experience

Deerns’ expansion strategy focuses on key markets in Europe, including Spain and Italy, as well as the Asia-Pacific region, with significant projects for both global and local customers. The company’s approach involves connecting its extensive knowledge base spread across Europe, leveraging local expertise in countries where projects are being implemented.

“Our collaboration with clients like STMicroelectronics in Italy has grown from market exploration to providing sustainable design services,” noted Stuiver. “We aim to replicate this level of integration with other clients and in other regions.”

Another notable example is Deerns’ collaboration with a Spanish startup specialising in flexible electronics. “We began working with this startup during its research phase at the University of Barcelona,” explained Stuiver. “Today, we are assisting them in developing their first production facility, which will bring their innovative products directly to market.” Additionally, Deerns’ work in designing a state-of-the-art cleanroom for the Technical University of Denmark demonstrates its commitment to advancing technology and innovation in the electronics sector.

In Taiwan, Deerns has undertaken several projects for global semiconductor players, the most recent of which commenced two months ago. These projects enable Deerns to form international teams and support clients in collaborating with local partners.

" Our ability to step forward and handle entire projects of different scopes is what sets us apart. Clients trust us to organise international teams and ensure their lifeline projects are executed smoothly

Deerns’ international experience extends beyond Europe and Asia. The company has supported technology leaders in the United States, exploring opportunities to enhance their operations as well. The establishment of international teams and peer reviews of locally designed projects ensure that global standards are met, regardless of the location.

Future Outlook

Deerns’ global expansion strategy in the electronics market is a testament to our expertise, innovation, and commitment to excellence. By leveraging our international experience and building strong partnerships, Deerns is poised to continue its growth, embracing the opportunities of the global electronics market.
