August 31, 2004 – EV Group (EVG), a supplier of wafer-bonding and lithography equipment, has opened a second customer-support center in Japan with a significant increase in engineering staff to better serve its growing customer base in that country.
The customer support center is in Fukuoka, a city of 1.3 million people on the island of Kyushu. The island, which has become a focal point for emerging technology research, accounts for nearly one-third of Japan’s semiconductor production, EVG claimed.
EVG Japan has had a regional sales and customer-support center in Yokohama for the past five years.
