“This acquisition follows quickly on our recently-announced funding and supports our ambitious strategic growth plans,” said Jordan Mackellar CEO of PTSL. He continued, “We see the acquisition as highly complementary to our existing probe card business and it will allow PTSL to address the adjacent high-frequency RF and fine-pitch probe card markets in a compelling way.
“PTSL will now offer an extremely differentiated competitive platform to our customers. By leveraging PTSL’s market position, I am confident we can drive adoption of ThinkMEMS technology further into emerging markets.”
“The ThinkMEMS technology is based on a highly innovative proprietary manufacturing process. Perfected over the years, it has allowed ThinkMEMS to demonstrate the highest performance signal integrity in the market today at frequencies over 100 GHz,” explained Zine Boutaghou, CEO and founder of ThinkMEMS.
