Kulicke and Soffa Industries has received a purchase order from Nantong Fujitsu Microelectronics for an additional 50 Nu-Tek ball bonders.

In addition, Nantong Fujitsu has also expressed its intention for K and S will be its major supplier of wire bonders over the next 12 months.

Mingda Shi, Chairman of the Board and General Manager of Nantong Fujitsu, commented that the company is currently running the K and S Nu-Tek machines in its production department.

Those machines, along with the K and S local support and their production people, have created a winning team the company believes is superior.

With the current Nu-Tek's success in mind, the company decided to expand its wire bonding capacity with more K and S Nu-Tek machines.

K and S Vice President of Marketing, Christian Rheault, said he was very pleased to receive the 50 machine follow-on order from Nantong Fujitsu.

"Furthermore, we are quite honoured to be selected as the major supplier for Nantong Fujitsu's wire bonders.

Of course we must continue to earn their business going forward, but it is quite gratifying to establish this kind of solid relationship with a relatively new wire bonder model now entering the large transistor packaging market in China".
