A Exiger Case Study
Hoshine Silicon Industry Co Ltd., a producer of silicone and polysilicon products and a critical supplier to semiconductor and solar companies, faced concern after a fire and explosion at its Xinjiang facility in June 2021. The incident raised questions about possible supply chain disruption in an already shortage-prone semiconductor market, and Exiger used its Supply Chain Explorer product to assess the risk.
Exiger proactively analyzed the event and alerted the customer that the Hoshine disaster was a low-risk event for the U.S. supply chain in the short term, with no material connections to the customer’s suppliers and enough replacement capacity among top U.S. importers. This real-time context let the customer avoid an unnecessary deep investigation, continue operations normally, and save thousands of research hours.
