Highlights:
Xcerra Corporation (NASDAQ:XCRA) and Spirox Corporation
(TWSE:3055), today announced that they have reinstated the
distribution agreement assigning Spirox the exclusive rights for
field sales, application engineering and customer service support
operations in Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China. Xcerra and
Spirox will jointly develop a communication plan for interacting
with customers and will work collaboratively so that the combined
effort maximizes the growth opportunity for Xcerra’s semiconductor
test products in the region. Both companies are committed to a
supportive working relationship moving forward.
Dave Tacelli, president and chief executive officer of Xcerra,
commented, “Spirox is a valued partner and has played an important
role in Xcerra’s growth in Taiwan and China. We truly believe that
this agreement will allow us to continue to meet increased customer
demand and we look forward to Spirox’s continued support in
enhancing Xcerra’s position as a major player in this high growth
region.”
Xcerra will continue its plan to establish and solely own and
operate Xcerra Development Centers (XDC) in Shanghai, China and
Zhubei, Hsinchu County, Taiwan. The XDCs are technical centers for
customers in the regions and beyond. These centers will support
certain of Xcerra’s activities in those regions, including system
level engineering, advanced applications support, research and
development, and business development. Further, each XDC will
work closely with Xcerra’s product groups to help align Xcerra’s
product roadmaps with local customers’ future high-volume
production test requirements.
David Sheu, president and chief executive officer of Spirox
commented, “Spirox and Xcerra have been close partners for the past
30 years and have collaborated to build up a strong position in the
Greater China market. We are excited about continuing our
relationship with Xcerra through an updated agreement that
strengthens our relationship and better reflects the realities of
today’s business environment. With the addition of direct Xcerra
resources through the XDCs in Taiwan and mainland China we believe
Spirox engineers will greatly benefit from Xcerra’s presence as
well as our customers. With Xcerra’s and Spirox’s nearly 30
year working relationship to support our mutual customers in the
region, both companies understand the unique value we each deliver
to the market and by working together we can enhance our mutual
long term business prospects.”
