December 23, 2013. Presto Engineering Inc., a global provider of semiconductor back-end turnkey production services, announced that its Caen Normandy Hub has been expanded into a full industrialization and test production center, primarily serving the communications, automotive, industrial, and consumer markets.
“Presto’s production center will serve the global semiconductor industry—as a European-based production option that offers an alternative to the cost and time involved in moving new products to Asia for ramp of low- to mid-level volume,” said Philippe Laban, Presto Engineering’s vice president and general manager, Europe. “Production options in Europe have decreased in recent years, and as a result, we see a real opportunity as a new, integrated, local solution for European customers. Our expertise in RF, millimetric wave, and mixed-signal technologies directly addresses these key areas of high demand in Europe.”
Presto Engineering’s Caen-based production center features a new Fusion MX RF tester and a new mixed-signal tester, the Diamond Series D10 (both from LTX-Credence), along with an already-existing MicroFLEX RF system from Teradyne. The new test center also offers automatic handlers and probers, as well as test development expertise.
Laban added, “Our ability to offer both test development and production enables us to be a responsive and accountable partner with our customers, and provide the efficiency they need to ramp their products into production as quickly as possible and at the expected quality level.”
