Since its founding in 1975, ASMPT has continuously evolved and transformed itself from an equipment specialist into what is today the world’s largest and industry-leading provider of complete end-to-end solutions for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. The company lives the vision “Enabling the digital world”.

With its two business units SMT Solutions and Semiconductor Solutions, the Singapore-based ASMPT Group is the world’s first supplier who is able to offer its customers equipment, software and expertise along the complete process chain from wafer handling to chip assembly and packaging to SMT placement. With 10 manufacturing sites and internationally distributed R&D and innovation centers, ASMPT is always close to its customers. The company has more than 12,000 employees in over 30 countries.

With best-in-class equipment for solder paste printing (DEK), SPI and placement (SIPLACE), as well as industry-leading software solutions covering everything from the machine to the enterprise level, ASMPT SMT Solutions drives the digital transformation to the integrated smart factory.

The central connecting element in this endeavor is the company’s modular, manufacturer-independent and retrofittable Open Automation concept. It gives manufacturers all the freedom they need to determine the pace, design and degree of their automation projects on their own. To accomplish this, ASMPT supports open communication standards such as IPC-CFX for the end-to-end networking, optimization and automation of all workflows as well as the highly efficient deployment of employees.

Balver Zinn is one of the leading manufacturers of solders and high-quality anodes such as zinc anodes, but also anodes made of pure tin or tin-lead and special wires made of zinc, tin and lead for the electronics industry and surface finishing. In particular, lead-free products for the electronics industry are among the company's core competencies.

The subsidiary Cobar is responsible for the development of solder pastes, fluxes and similar products. Balver Zinn thus rounds off its product range for lead-free soldering and is a solution provider for a complete production process. In the field of recycling, we offer expert advice on all questions relating to the storage, transport logistics and recycling of metal waste.

In addition, we are certified according to DIN ISO 9001, DIN ISO 14001 and according to the IPC and offer process/hand soldering training courses and training courses for the IPC standards as well as IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 seminars through our own qualified training center in Balve.
