March Plasma Systems Opens Advanced Plasma Applications and Demonstration Laboratory in Shanghai, China
Concord , CA , March, 2006 – Building on over 20 years of continuous plasma technology innovation, March Plasma Systems announced today that it has established an advanced plasma applications and demonstration laboratory in Shanghai, China.
The new laboratory is located within the existing March-China offices located at 828 Xin Jin Qiao Road, Pudong, Shanghai 201206, China. The direct telephone number is: +86 21 5854 2345, and the direct facsimile number is: +86 21 5854 9150.
To manage the new laboratory, March has appointed Mr. Michael Zhang as Applications Field Service Engineer. Mr. Zhang will oversee all aspects of laboratory operations, including product training, customer demonstrations, applications development and other laboratory-related activities.
“March is establishing a strong local presence in China in order to improve our ability to serve the Chinese semiconductor, microelectronics and PCB manufacturing markets,” said James Getty, Director of Applications at March Plasma Systems. “Establishing an advanced applications and demonstration laboratory in China is a key aspect of that initiative. Now, customers in China have the ability to run samples and do applications development work in real-time, with locally trained engineers and scientists.“
The laboratory is equipped with a variety of March plasma processing systems for processing a wide range of advanced PCB, semiconductor, and microelectronic devices. The use of plasma is an efficient, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly method of surface activation and cleaning during the microelectronics manufacturing process, improving reliability and increasing yield in both semiconductor and PCB assembly.
March Plasma Systems is the global leader in plasma processing technology for the semiconductor, microelectronics, printed circuit board (PCB), medical devices, and life sciences industries. March has operations and support centers worldwide, including California, Florida, Europe, Singapore, China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. With over 20 years of continuous innovation, March designs and manufactures a complete line of award-winning and patented plasma processing systems. An expert staff of scientists and engineers is available to assist in the design of plasma processes that improve both product reliability and increase production yields.
March Plasma Systems, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordson Corporation, (Nasdaq: NDSN) the world's leading producer of precision dispensing equipment.
