(May 14, 2008) St. Florian, AUSTRIA — EV Group, equipment manufacturer for semiconductor, MEMS, and nanotechnology applications, announced the opening of a subsidiary, EV Group Korea Ltd., in Seoul, Korea to serve as a direct-to-customer site for sales, service, and support efforts for EVG's existing and potential new customer base. The subsidiary will reportedly house sales, service, process/application and administrative capabilities.
"The growth we've seen in our customer base thus far, coupled with the market potential, makes this move a clear and natural progression for us." stated Hermann Waltl, senior V.P of sales, EVG. Korea's increase in technological development efforts to compete in the global semiconductor and MEMS arenas, make it "a hotbed" for adoption of enabling manufacturing technologies, creating market potential for EVG in areas such as 3D stacking, advanced chip-to-wafer integration, as well as wafer-to-wafer bonding, he said.
The company has reportedly maintained an active role in Korea for the last decade. Specifically, EVG has collaborated with Jinsan Scientific Co. Ltd. and Jinsan Micro-engineering Ltd. to open a cleanroom facility, known as JML lab. This facility is designed to capture R&D efforts for MEMS, advanced packaging and nanoimprint lithography applications, as well as serve as a demonstration center for EVG's Korean customer base. In addition, the company is in close partnership with the BioIT National Foundry Center, which was established by Korea's Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy and is based at Seoul National University (SNU). The Center at SNU is dedicated to research and development surrounding biotechnology, including lab-on-a-chip.
