[Shenyang Yuanda Compressor Co.](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000k2ek/shenyang-yuanda-compressor-co), Ltd., a subsidiary of [Burckhardt Compression](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0006o8b/burckhardt-compression), has received multiple orders for membrane compressor units for hydrogen applications in the semiconductor industry, EIN Presswire [reported](https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/951436810/burckhardt-compression-erh-lt-auftr-ge-f-r-wasserstoffanwendungen-in-der-halbleiterindustrie). The projects will supply semiconductor production facilities in Taiwan and Korea through a leading global industrial gas provider.

## What the Compressor Orders Cover

The compressor units raise hydrogen pressure after a purification system, enabling reliable delivery of ultra-high-purity hydrogen required for modern semiconductor manufacturing processes. Hydrogen is used in key production steps including epitaxial growth, annealing, coating and modern lithography, helping meet the extremely high purity and precision requirements of today's semiconductors.

Burckhardt Compression said the orders strengthen its position in hydrogen compression and enable its entry into a new market based on its existing technology portfolio. The company said SYCC offers robust hydrogen compression solutions built on its proven reciprocating and gas-tight membrane compressor technologies, designed for the high purity, safety and reliability demands of semiconductor production plants.

Sustained investment in artificial intelligence, data centers, modern electronics and digital infrastructure is driving semiconductor manufacturers worldwide to expand production capacity, increasing demand for ultra-high-purity process gases and the associated compression technologies needed along the semiconductor value chain.

## Burckhardt Compression's Financial Scale

Burckhardt Compression is a Swiss manufacturer of reciprocating compressors serving oil and gas, LNG, hydrogen, petrochemical, biogas and CCS industries in more than 80 countries, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records show fiscal year 2025 sales of CHF 1.057 billion, a 3.5% year-on-year decline, alongside record operating income of CHF 141 million at a 13.3% EBIT margin and record net income of CHF 110 million.
