Global Adoption of Enterprise Manufacturing Execution System
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (July 11, 2006) – Camstar, the recognized leader in Enterprise
Manufacturing Execution Systems for Semiconductor Backend and Fabless Operations,
continues to capture market share in the Hi-tech Industry, announcing revenue growth
of 114% through Q2 of this calendar year. The majority of the revenue will involve
manufacturing sites located in Asia, with concentration in China.
Camstar’s growth can be attributed to building a product that was specifically designed
for semiconductor assembly, test and packaging operations. InSite for semiconductor
manufacturers is a modern, configurable MES that provides significant out-of-the
box capabilities and best practices that facilitate successful, rapid implementation
for semiconductor backend operations. Aging legacy systems have become an inhibitor
to growth, and manufacturers are keen to implement a solution with the high level
of flexibility required to effectively scale manufacturing across their complex
global sites.
In response to high demand, Camstar is opening a competency center in Shanghai,
China to support its customers and partners in the region. The competency center
will augment the support offices that are already located in and Japan . “Camstar
has been serving this industry for more than two decades,” said Scott Toney, President
and CEO of Camstar. “With more than a third of our customers now in the Asia region,
we are continuing to invest in our global support structure to insure their success.”
“Camstar’s flexible yet robust MES, rapid implementation methodology, and customer
focus have led to strong customer satisfaction," said Julie Fraser, Principal and
Industry Analyst, Industry Directions Inc. "The ability to deliver live visibility
and control to optimize complex semiconductor production processes across multiple
unique manufacturing sites not only differentiates Camstar, but can put its customers
in an excellent competitive position."
Camstar will demonstrate its InSite solution for semiconductor manufacturers at
Semicon West in San Francisco, July 11-13, 2006. Attendees can visit Camstar in
the Microsoft Booth #4712.
