Electronic Scientific Engineering/Hong Kong (ESE) has acquired Macrotron Process Technologies (MPT) by an asset deal from Ingram Macrotron, the German subsidiary of globally present Ingram Micro. As Ingram’s CEO Michael Kaack stated, „The business of MPT was a fundament that allowed us to develop our distribution business of IT products. It has contributed to the company for many years, yet requires ever-growing product expertise and professional competence. Ingram Micro’s core competence is the mass distribution of IT products. The distribution of support-intensive semiconductor manufacturing equipment is no longer part of our strategy. ESE is taking over the employees of MPT and integrating our previous management team into their organization.“ Jan Wong, CEO of ESE adds, ”The acquisition of MPT, now MSE (Macrotron Scientific Engineering) is a very important step for us, to fit our strategy of becoming a leading technology company in Asia Pacific in the field of process solutions for the electronic industry. With the MSE product portfolio, in particular with the X-ray equipment, expertise, experienced employees and management we provide continuity to customers and enhance our portfolio. Our strong marketing and sales infrastructure in the Asia Pacific territory will make the X-ray products a success in that realm. In return, we can enhance MSE’s product portfolio in the area of semiconductor production solutions by using our longstanding relationships with established companies represented by us, which need a strong European marketing and sales organization. MSE will play an important part in the future.” ESE, established in 1980, is part of Schmidt Electronic Asia/Hong Kong, which sells and supports solutions for the electronics industry. With more than 1000 employees and sales and support locations in Asia Pacific, it is reportedly one of the leaders.
