Technica USA to Expand Role with ASM Americas
March 1, 2016 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Technica USA is pleased to announce the appointment by ASM as the exclusive U.S. Distributor for the new E by SIPLACE placement equipment. The E by SIPLACE is an exciting new product that is being introduced by Technica at this year APEX. The equipment offers customers world-class performance for mid-speed/high mix applications.
Frank Medina, President of Technica USA stated, " We have had a very successful relationship with ASM since establishing a true partnership a few years ago. Together, we established a West Coast Demo and Training Center at our facility in San Jose, CA that provides a great service for our customers."
Jeff Timms, head of the SMT Segment of ASM in the Americas added, "While aggressively expanding our SMT product portfolio on the high-end / high performance market, we needed to quickly add resources and infrastructure to enter, develop and support the mid-speed/high mix market segment. With the existing organization managing the growth of the high end portfolio, the most prudent way to launch this product family, while keeping cost in line for our customers, was to establish a separate distribution arm for E by SIPLACE. Technica has the infrastructure and personnel to provide the sales and service support necessary to meet our E by SIPLACE customer requirements."
Medina went on to say, "The E by SIPLACE sets a new standard in this class of equipment for quality and performance. We are confident that customers will quickly appreciate the advantage this equipment will offer their operation as compared to other equipment in this product segment. We invite customers to visit us at this year's APEX at Booth # 1127 to learn more about the product and see the E by SIPLACE in action."
