Micro-Machining Center MMC - Synova internationally local labs for customer support

Synova has opened the first in a series of micro-machining centers (MMCs). These MMCs serve as competence centers for demonstration, sample testing and application development. In addition, these facilities offer regional micro-machining services for the semiconductor and related microelectronics industries. Until now, the company’s application labs were based at Synova’s headquarters in Switzerland. However, the establishment of customer support centers in key locations throughout the globe fortifies Synova’s expansion efforts, providing an optimum environment for the company to better serve its worldwide customer base.

The U.S. Micro-Machining Center is located in the heart of Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area. Establishing an MMC in the U.S. does not only demonstrate Synova’s commitment to its existing customers, but also speeds the adoption of its technology to an under-tapped, yet significant, customer base. The U.S. poses large market opportunities for Synova in the areas of inkjet printer head micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), hard disk drive (HDD) and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) sectors. This establishment is an important milestone for Synova as the company continues to penetrate these burgeoning markets.

For its MMC at Tokyo, Synova teams with Makino, a renowned Industrial Machine Manufacturer. This partner center will bolster Synova’s commitment to supporting its customer base in Japan and continues to fuel industry adoption of its Laser MicroJet® technology. Synova’s sales and support center, enables Synova to strengthen its foothold in a region that is home to some of the world’s largest electronics manufacturers. The new MMC will also allow Synova to serve the needs of its Japanese customers even more quickly and efficiently than before.
