SUSS MicroTec and Manz Asia Form Strategic Partnership

SUSS MicroTec SE has announced a strategic partnership with Manz Asia to advance semiconductor inkjet technology. This collaboration aims to enhance SUSS' position in next-generation coating technologies, expanding opportunities in advanced and panel-level packaging. The joint effort aligns with SUSS' Ambition 2030 strategy, focusing on technology capabilities and market exposure.

The partnership leverages the complementary strengths of both companies. SUSS brings expertise in semiconductor process equipment and advanced packaging, while Manz Asia contributes its inkjet technology capabilities. Together, they aim to accelerate technology development and reduce the time-to-market for future inkjet solutions.

Inkjet technology offers significant advantages over conventional methods, such as material savings, cost efficiency, and uniform deposition on complex structures. With the serviceable equipment market for this technology expected to exceed USD 800 million by 2030, the partnership positions SUSS to expand its inkjet portfolio significantly.

This collaboration also grants accelerated access to the emerging panel-level packaging ecosystem, expected to be pivotal in future semiconductor manufacturing due to increased package complexity and throughput demands.
