Riber S.A. of Bezons, France – which manufactures molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) systems as well as evaporation sources and effusion cells – has opened its subsidiary Riber Semiconductor Technology Shanghai.

Located in the Baoshan district of Shanghai, the subsidiary is intended to strengthen Riber’s presence in the whole Chinese market and provide Chinese customers with commercial services, after-sales services, in-house and on-site maintenance solutions, completed with an extensive inventory of spares parts and accessories.

The subsidiary will serve Riber’s customer base for both MBE and evaporators activities. The firm currently has 21 MBE customers in China, including six industrial customers, comprising an installed base of 48 MBE systems, of which eight are production systems (the largest installed MBE base in China, representing a market share of more than 75%). Regarding evaporators, Riber already has more than a thousand evaporators installed at four customers manufacturing organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and solar cells.

Riber says that, after more than 30 years of commercial success in China, the opening of the subsidiary is an important strategic step to position Riber closer to its customers as well as to grasp the growth opportunities in China’s MBE and evaporator markets.
