SAMCO’s stock transferred from Second Section to First Section of Tokyo Stock Exchange

Japan’s SAMCO Inc, a supplier of etch, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and surface treatment systems for the semiconductor industry, says that its stock has been transferred from the Second Section to the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) market.

Founded in 1979, SAMCO specializes in manufacturing thin-film deposition (PECVD), etching (ICP, RIE, DRIE) and surface treatment (plasma and UV-ozone cleaning) systems for the R&D and production of compound semiconductor, optoelectronics, MEMS and other electronic components, including next-generation power devices and LEDs. In May 2001, the firm went public on the Japan Securities Dealers Association over-the-counter market (now TSE JASDAQ – standard). However, SAMCO determined it was best to switch to the main market of the TSE in order to improve its performance in developing new fields and expanding into global markets. Hence last July it switched to the Second Section of the TSE. SAMCO was the first transfer of a listing following consolidation of the TSE and the OSE (Osaka Securities Exchange).

SAMCO says that it aims to take advantage of this opportunity to continue improving its financial performance by growing operations.
