STAr Technologies, Inc. (STAr) and EDA Industries (EDA) are pleased to announce a mutually strategic business expansion partnership. Combining product scopes and sales networks, this agreement will lead STAr and EDA's growth in the global semiconductor testing market at the highest level.
With technologies and applications continuously driving the increase in the demands of ICs, semiconductor players face growing challenges, especially in production management, and must guarantee overall device cost reduction as well as adequate quality and yield.
In this scenario, STAr and EDA have decided to strengthen their business cooperation relationship to meet the ever-increasing requirements of the semiconductor industry. STAr will be a sales representative of EDA products and services in the global market, in particular U.S.A, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Meanwhile, EDA will support STAr in EU markets (in particular Italy) and Morocco. The complete sales and service network will significantly benefit industry customers.
EDA, established in 1993 in Italy, is a dynamic and experienced international company, providing Turn-Key Solutions and Services for Reliability, Burn-in and Testing of Semiconductor Devices, both at the Wafer and Package Levels. Recently EDA is investing in Testing solutions also for Power Modules.
STAr Technologies, founded in 2000 in Hsinchu Taiwan, is a supplier of semiconductor test total solutions and provides test systems, software, consumables, and services to semiconductor and optical industry companies. Its expertise extends across parametric E-test, WLR & PLR.
Dr. Fortunato Palella, Founder of EDA Industries, commented: "We are glad to announce this important partnership with STAr Technologies. Thanks to this agreement and the integration of sales and marketing strategy, our business will be on a new scale, allowing us to increase our coverage of the global semiconductor market, as well as to highlight our deep industry knowledge and expertise".
Dr. Choon-Leong Lou, CEO & CTO of STAr Technologies, said: "Testing is a critical process to semiconductor manufacturing and value demonstrated for ICs. We look forward to the year ahead with EDA as partnership promises sales and service cooperation and provide customers the complementary test solutions in the future".
