Applied Seals North America adds European distributor

To extend its reach into more international markets, Applied Seals North America Inc of Newark, CA, USA has signed Semiconductor Parts and Materials AG (SPM) of Schaan, Liechtenstein to distribute its perfluoroelastomer sealing components and provide local applications support throughout Europe. The new partnership follows Applied Seals recently signing BTS Baruch & Co Technologies & Supplies Ltd (BTS) as its distributor in Israel.

Applied Seals says that its o-rings are integral to ultraclean manufacturing of products including compound semiconductors devices and solar cells. “Compound semiconductor manufacturers throughout Europe are seeking improved cost efficiencies, which our seals’ longer lifecycles enable,” claims president & general manager Dalia Vernikovsky. “Working with SPM and using our expertise in materials science, product design and applications know-how, Applied Seals is now prepared to offer European microelectronics and biotechnology companies the durable sealing technology and local support they need.”

SPM has 12 years of experience providing service and spares for semiconductor customers throughout Germany, Austria, Italy, France, the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia and Slovakia. To enable quick-turnaround deliveries and service calls, the firm maintains product inventories, applications and technical support operations near major manufacturing centers in Germany, Italy and the UK.

Over the past 10 years, Philipp Quaderer (SPM's CEO since its founding) has focused on sales and market development for SPM’s partner Applied Ceramics Europe AG, a supplier of custom ceramic, quartz, silicon and sapphire products for the semiconductor and photonics industries.
