Orbotech has announced a clarification and further information concerning its intention regarding the Company’s electronics assembly business activities. Expanding on the information provided in Orbotech’s third quarter 2008 results press release, Rani Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Orbotech Ltd., explained: “Our decision to divest our activities in the assembled PCB market is part of the series of steps that we are taking to refocus our strategic plan and align ourselves properly to address current economic conditions, while also preparing for future growth. We hope that a successful agreement can be reached for the sale of this business so as to minimize disruption to our existing client base, while providing a clear path for our customers to continue to receive best-in-class solutions and professional service in the future.”
Orbotech is actively engaged in negotiations with the Italian holding company Fin.Pro S.p.A, for the sale of its European and American electronics assembly business which will include R&D, manufacturing, sales and service of the Company’s automated optical inspection (AOI) and related process control solutions.
