Essemtec is pleased to announce that as of August 1, 2013, a new exclusive collaboration agreement for Brazil has been signed with HITECH Eletronica Industrial e Comercial Ltda, a capital equipment supplier for the SMT semiconductor electronics market in Brazil for almost 40 years. The partnership was formed with the goal of growing its South American business. HITECH is committed to delivering product demonstrations, service and support.
HITECHs General Manager Marcos Eduardo da Silva has observed Essemtec in the market for some time and considers the collaboration to be the best, most solid choice for his customers. The wide range of highly flexible machines for SMT production makes Essemtec very attractive. Customers can benefit from high-quality standards, low maintenance and hardly any downtime, Mr. Silva stated. Under the agreement, HITECH is Essemtecs partner and takes over its sales and service operations in Brazil. As a result of this, some Essemtec Brazil employees have transferred to HITECH.
