Siemens is selling its SIPLACE placement machine business. The buyer is Hong Kong-based ASM Pacific Technology Ltd., one of the world’s leading machine and system manufacturers in the semiconductor and LED field. Günter Lauber, CEO of the SIPLACE team, views this change of ownership as a great opportunity for customers, employees and the brand itself. As an industrial investor from the same industry that is innovation-driven and quality-oriented with a well-developed distribution network in Asia, ASMPT is a good strategic fit for SIPLACE and the candidate of choice for the acquisition, says Lauber.
