April 20, 2011 — Boston Semi Equipment LLC (BSE Group) acquired the assets of Asia Tech Corporation, launching BSE Tech LLC. BSE Tech delivers a comprehensive portfolio of pre-owned front end semiconductor manufacturing equipment and spare parts, technical capabilities and financial solutions.
BSE Tech will facilitate the lease, sale, repositioning and servicing of all makes and models of new and pre-owned front end semiconductor equipment worldwide.
Combining these new assets with our OEM remarketing and partnership agreements is a competitive move, said Doug Elder, CEO and president of BSE Group. "BSE Group’s financial backing gives BSE Tech the ability to own its own equipment and the purchasing power to acquire new tools, which is a key differentiator in this market."
BSE Tech has signed a long-term lease for a 75,000 square foot facility in Tempe, AZ, doubling the former footprint of Asia Tech. The new location will also house a new 15,000 square foot cleanroom, currently under construction. Asia Tech’s president, Francis Colligan, will join BSE Tech in the role of vice president. All employees of Asia Tech are now part of BSE Tech.
