Nidec Advance Technology Signs Agreement with Synergie Cad Group Two Companies to Collaborate on Probe Card Solutions

May 30, 2024– Nidec Advance Technology Corporation (“Nidec”), a leading global
supplier of high-performance probe cards and MEMS probes through its subsidiary Nidec
SV Probe, announced that it has signed a collaboration agreement with Synergie Cad
Group (“Synergie Cad”), a European designer and manufacturer of Assembled Printed
Circuit Boards (PCBA), probe cards and turnkey test solutions. According to the strategic
partnership agreement, the two companies will join forces to promote, sell and support
each other’s products within designated territories.
Probe cards are essential tools in the electrical testing of semiconductor wafers before
they are diced, packaged, assembled, and utilized in growing logic applications such as
mobile, automotive and AI. The semiconductor market is also being driven by the
defense and medical segments, which are sensitive to geographical risks with the supply
chain and are increasingly required to be self-sufficient in each region and country.
Nidec and Synergie Cad agree to appoint each other as exclusive partners and
authorized probe card repair operators in selected areas. Synergie Cad has agreed to sell
probe card products to customers in Europe, whereas Nidec SV Probe will be responsible
for the manufacture of these probe cards or will supply the parts for the probe card
production performed by Synergie Cad. The two companies will also expand this
collaboration globally for customer field support and materials/parts supply. Leveraging
the strengths of both companies will not only boost productivity but allow a faster time
to market and ultimately lower test costs for our customers.
“We are excited to be partnering with Synergie Cad,” said Hidekazu Yamazaki, President
& CEO at Nidec Advance Technology. “It is an important phase in Nidec SV Probe’s
growth strategy while at the same time developing our capabilities and technical
proficiencies.”
“We are delighted to embark on this new and exciting collaboration and to support our
customers in overcoming their technical challenges,” said Alain Librati, CEO at Synergie
Cad Group. “This partnership with Nidec will facilitate the growth of our product and
technical offerings through our complementary expertise with Nidec SV Probe.”
