August 11, 2025 | ASMPTEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
ASMPT, a global leader in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, announced today a strategic optimisation of its manufacturing operations in China.
ASMPT has decided to close ASMPT Equipment (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. in Bao’an, Shenzhen. This facility is part of the company’s Semiconductor Solutions Segment, and the closure affects approximately 950 staff. This was a tough but necessary decision to optimise ASMPT’s global supply chain to better align it with evolving market dynamics and customer needs. It is expected to improve the cost competitiveness, agility and resilience of ASMPT’s global manufacturing operations for its key products and solutions.
ASMPT is committed to treating all affected employees with fairness, dignity and respect. Comprehensive support measures are being put in place to assist impacted staff through the transition.
ASMPT’s other key global manufacturing operations are unaffected by the closure. Its supply chain is fully aligned to ensure uninterrupted delivery to all customers, with no impact on the quality or availability of its products and services.
This strategic alignment reflects the company’s continued commitment to operational excellence, responsible business practices and sustainable long-term growth.

EDADOC: Building the ‘Neural Hub’ for High-Compute Chips Within a Compact Space
04/28/2026 | ECIOEvery chip to the market must pass a stringent checkpoint before shipment known as ATE testing. Serving as the physical “neural hub” that connects test equipment worth millions of dollars with the device under test, the performance of the ATE test board directly determines the accuracy, efficiency, and final yield of chip testing. Amid the rapid rise of high-compute chips, what extreme challenges is this seemingly small circuit board facing? How is EDADOC addressing industry pain points through its one-stop “design + manufacturing” model?
American Made Advocacy: Rebuilding America’s Military Stockpiles Begins With Microelectronics
04/28/2026 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made AdvocacyCurrent world events demonstrate the fragility of long-distance supply chains transiting multiple zones of conflict. The U.S. military is currently drawing down supplies of key munitions and other electronic systems at unprecedented rates.1Every one of those systems is powered by printed circuit boards. The American PCB industry has kept pace with peacetime demand for the defense industry, but will now be called upon to increase production to a wartime footing at rates not seen in decades.
