ficonTEC sees Rapid Growth in Asia
With the global installation base hitting 500 machines only last summer, ficonTEC has sailed past the 600 mark within the first half of 2018. A major contribution to this growth originates with demand in the Far East, in particular China: For Silicon Photonics assembly and testing applications, more than 20 fully-automatic systems have been delivered in 2018 alone, and in the same timeframe, the overall installation base within China has increased more than 50% over 2017. In 2018 the first fully-automatic packaging production line was successfully installed.
