Company history

Since the early 1990s, DAS EE has been accompanying the rapid development of the semiconductor industry with a courage to innovate and a clear focus on environmental protection. At a time when microchips were becoming smaller and more powerful, the challenges of clean production were also growing. Process exhaust gases containing highly reactive or toxic substances had to be treated safely. This is exactly where DAS EE came in. With its patented ESCAPE technology, the company developed the first system that captures and neutralizes harmful gases directly at the source.

DAS EE recognized the changes in the industry early on and responded with a series of new systems for cleaning exhaust gases of particles, nitrogen oxides, and greenhouse gases. Whether burners, scrubbers, dry burners, or particle separators—the Dresden-based company has created technologies that are now used by the world's leading chip manufacturers. DAS EE took advantage of the global rise of the solar industry early on and adapted its solutions accordingly. Another milestone followed in 2006 with the expansion into technologies for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment. This was an important step toward a holistic environmental strategy.

In 2006, another significant step was taken with the expansion of the portfolio to include industrial wastewater treatment. DAS EE thus developed from a specialist in exhaust air systems to a strategic partner for sustainable chip production. Today, DAS EE stands for customer-specific solutions in air and water purification, the highest quality standards, and reliable partnerships. With over 950 employees worldwide, technological vision, and a deep understanding of the industry's requirements, DAS EE is an integral part of the global semiconductor industry as well as solar, LED, and MEMS manufacturing. A company that not only reacts, but thinks ahead and actively shapes what will matter tomorrow.

DAS Environmental Experts has strong ties to Dresden and has been actively shaping the development of sustainable environmental technologies for over 30 years. What started as a small team of ten employees has grown into an internationally active company. With innovative strength, technological vision, and a clear commitment to the region, DAS EE is driving industrial change. At its headquarters in Dresden, the company is continuously investing, most recently in a modern technology campus, new production facilities, flexible workspaces, and sustainable infrastructure. A key factor in its success is its strong involvement in the Silicon Saxony high-tech network. CEO René Reichardt contributes his experience as a member of the extended executive committee. He is particularly committed to sustainability, strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises, and promoting young talent. DAS EE also takes on responsibility at the international level. In the European semiconductor association SEMI, Reichardt promotes the possibilities of a sustainable industry worldwide and successful industry development in Silicon Saxony.
