Broenderslev, Denmark, May 7, 2007 – Asetek, the market leader of thermal management solutions for semiconductors, announced today that they have signed a three year manufacturing contract with one of the most respected thermal cooling suppliers in the computer market; Asia Vital Components (AVC).The manufacturing handover process starts when a prototype meets the customer’s and Asetek requirements; Asetek runs a small scale production line at their own production facility in Denmark to validate the manufacturability, quality and performance. From here, Asetek invites AVC for training to make sure that documentation, drawings, material details, and construction techniques are fully understood.
The manufacturing is now ready to be handed over to AVC for mass production. During the first production runs, Asetek provides on-site support in order to assure that the manufacturing process meets Asetek’s expectations.
