About Us

Chemleader Corporation (CLC) was established in 2002 and specializes in the research, development, and production of chemicals for wet processes. Initially used mostly in the LED industry, CLC products later expanded into the advanced semiconductor packaging industry as well.

In 2013, CLC became a fully-owned subsidiary of Grand Process Technology Corporation (GPTC), the leading brand for semiconductor wet processing equipment in Taiwan. CLC is continuing to explore new product applications and technologies thanks to the complementary synergies between equipment and chemical technology.

In addition to our expertise in the development and production of high-precision etchants and eco-friendly photoresist strippers, CLC has also expanded our reach into the supply chain of advanced IC manufacturing, including the energy and back-end electronic industries, becoming the first supplier of nano-copper electroplating chemicals in the world.
