Mass metrology equipment manufacturer Metryx has signed a sales,
service and support contract with Taiwan-based Hermes-Epitek to promote
Metryx’s equipment in Taiwan, China and Singapore. Metryx has already
been selling systems into the Asia market.
“As we continue to increase our installed base in the Asia Pacific
region, it is critical that we develop a strong, local sales and
service capability throughout the region. Working with Hermes-Epitek
allows us to do exactly that,” stated Dr. Adrian Kiermasz, President
and CEO of Metryx.
“Metryx has done an excellent job of
bringing this promising technology to market over the last two years,”
stated Dr. James Wang, Hermes-Epitek’s Director of Metrology and Mask
Dept. “Their market penetration has been impressive with customers
across the Asia Pacific region. We believe we not only bring a great
deal of value in terms of support and service for the existing tool
base, but also provide an excellent platform for growing that base
significantly.”
Metryx said that key Hermes-Epitek engineering
staff had already received training. The agreement is effective from
April 1st onwards.
