ATMI's Treatment Systems Partners With Metron Expanding European
Semiconductor Customer Sales, Service, and Support DANBURY, Conn.,
May 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ATMI, Inc. , a supplier of
materials and materials packaging to the world's leading
semiconductor manufacturers, today announced that ATMI Treatment
Systems, its environmental abatement equipment business, has signed
an exclusive agreement with Metron Technology N.V. , a global
outsource solutions company, to handle product sales, service, and
support throughout Europe. Tod Higinbotham, ATMI Vice-President of
Sales and Marketing, said, "Metron will do a great job covering
abatement systems customers in Europe. They are supplying
additional selling and marketing resources -- above and beyond
ATMI's contributions -- required for continued market strength."
Steve Tsu, General Manager of the ATMI Treatment Systems business
said, "One-fifth of the world's semiconductors are manufactured in
Europe. By leveraging the expertise and experience Metron has in
supporting sales and service with our customer base, ATMI Treatment
Systems is able to focus on expanding our technology-leading
abatement systems product lines and market position." Dennis
Riccio, President and Chief Operating Officer of Metron, commented,
"Handling ATMI Treatment Systems' customer relationships in Europe
leverages Metron's core strengths as a global outsourcing sales,
service, and support partner. Metron has long been an outsource
sales and service partner of ATMI in Southeast Asia. Our
fab-focused sales and support groups extend ATMI Treatment Systems'
reach further into Europe-based semiconductor customers." In
October 2003, ATMI announced its objective to exit its non-core
businesses, including ATMI Treatment Systems, by outright sale or
joint venture and expects this to take place by the end of 2004.
ATMI will be reallocating those resources to its core materials and
materials packaging businesses. ATMI Treatment Systems offers a
complete range of proven technology solutions for all process types
and modules for a complete fab-wide solution. As well as the
existing Vector(R) (wet), Novapure(R) (dry), Guardian(R) (thermal),
and CDO(R) integrated technology systems, ATMI Treatment Systems is
introducing the Marathon(TM) 8500. The new Marathon(TM) combination
abatement tool will offer unrivalled gas destruction efficiency in
ultra-high volume applications, including epitaxial, low-k, and
perfluorinated compounds (PFC) process exhaust abatement. ATMI
provides specialty materials and materials packaging to the
worldwide semiconductor industry. As the Source of Semiconductor
Process Efficiency, ATMI helps customers improve wafer yields and
lower operating costs. For more information, please visit atmi.com.
