(February 22, 2008) St. Florian, Austria — EV Group (EVG) has announced that it has received a multiple system order from Colibrys for one EVG520 semi-automated wafer bonding system and two EVG620 fully automated mask/bond aligners. One bonder and aligner tool set was installed at the Colibrys Inc. manufacturing facility in Stafford, TX, last month, while the other will be installed at the company's headquarters in Neuchatel, Switzerland before the end of 1Q08.
EVG said that follow-on orders like this helped the company to realize a 30-percent overall increase in both revenue and order intake in 2007.
According to Colibrys' VP of Operations, Jim Marsh, "Our company is dedicated to delivering only the highest performance, highest reliability MEMS-based motion sensors for harsh-environment (energy, military and aerospace) and safety critical (industrial and instrumentation) markets. In turn, we demand the best from our suppliers when it comes to process capabilities, quality and comprehensive support. EVG has been a valued supplier to Colibrys over the last decade, providing the high-quality wafer bonding and aligner technology needed to cost-effectively manufacture our best-in-class MEMS sensors in high volume."
Marsh added that aside from the business growth, there were a number of specific factors leading to this most recent purchasing decision. This included the tool sets' flexibility in handling difficult substrates; high-force bonding capabilities; and repeatability and reliable performance.
