SINGAPORE -- ASM Singapore last week celebrated the grand opening of its state-of-the-art SMT Center of Competence here. The new facilities consolidate the company's SMT Solutions and Back-end Equipment business segments, respectively, under one roof.

The consolidated business units are expected to promote synergy and exchange of knowledge and ideas.

In honor of the event, the company held two days of technology presentations and live demos on SMT placement and printing, wire- and die-bonding, and advanced packaging. More than 50 customers from the region attended the sessions.

The new ASM SMT Center of Competence is located in the Yishun Industrial Park. It is the company's third worldwide, joining centers in Munich and Shanghai.

In a statement, ASM PT CEO Lee Wai Kwong said, “By centralizing our businesses within close proximity, it allows us to integrate our facilities and put us in a better position to focus on creating synergies for different business units. Also, having the R&D teams of different business units under one roof is an invaluable opportunity for fruitful collaborative exchanges. Sharing of technology know-how will spark new ideas that will help us in the development of next-generation machines that deliver better performance at lower cost.”
