Yamaha Expands into Semiconductor Processing


Marietta, GA — Yamaha Motor Ro- botics Holdings Co., Ltd., (YMRH) has recently been formed around the acquisitions and integration of Shinkawa Ltd., and APIC Yamada Corporation. YMRH now joins the family of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. The new business integration is


intended to provide a total solution as a turnkey provider in the field of back-

semiconductor manufacturing equip- ment maker in 1959 and soon became fully engaged in automating semicon-


ductor manufacturing equipment, es- pecially wirebonding, the most labor- intensive process at the time. Shin - kawa developed the industry’s first ful- ly automatic wirebonder in 1977. APIC Yamada Corporation, a


wholly-owned subsidiary of Shin - kawa Ltd., is also a semiconductor manufacturing equipment maker whose major business lines include a


molding system, a package singula- tion system, a test handler and transport system, a trim and form


system, and a precision die set. Contact: Yamaha Motor Corpo-
