Tailored solutions at SEMICON Europa 2025
time:matters will present its tailored logistics solutions at SEMICON Europa 2025 (Hall C2, Booth 433), the region’s leading semiconductor trade fair in November. The showcase will demonstrate how time:matters supports every stage of the semiconductor supply chain, featuring a virtual reality tour of the Frankfurt Courier Terminal that highlights its premium express handling and monitoring capabilities.
Additionally, Remy Schoenzetter, Head of Business Unit High Tech & Semicon at time:matters, will present on the TechARENA stage on November 19, discussing the critical role of time-sensitive logistics in complex global supply chains.
Expert insights into supply chain resilience
As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, demands on semiconductor supply chains are intensifying. Accelerated innovation cycles, supply shortages and ongoing geopolitical challenges are adding even more volatility to global logistics networks. With components often traveling tens of thousands of miles and crossing multiple borders before final production, efficient and resilient logistics have become critical to maintaining development speed and manufacturing continuity.
“Delays in the semiconductor supply chain can have significant operational impacts,” adds Remy Schoenzetter, Head of Business Unit High Tech & Semicon at time:matters. “The strength and focus of logistics lie in anticipating and mitigating risks to maintain supply chain continuity for semiconductor manufacturers. In doing so, logistics companies do more than just transport goods; their fast and secure transport of time-sensitive components helps safeguard semiconductor operations.”
“The semiconductor industry is facing unprecedented supply chain complexity,” said Bettina Weiss, Chief of Staff and Corporate Strategy at SEMI. “Strategic partnerships with companies such as time:matters are essential to building the capabilities SEMI members need to anticipate and respond to disruptions proactively, enhancing supply chain agility and resilience for the entire industry.”
