ST. FLORIAN, Austria, July 8, 2019 — EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today announced that it has once again been voted by customers as one of the 10 BEST Focused Suppliers of Chip Making Equipment and one of the 2019 THE BEST Suppliers of Fab Equipment in the 2019 VLSIresearch Customer Satisfaction Survey, increasing its score and ranking in both award segments compared to last year’s listings.
EVG also received a RANKED 1st in Specialty Fab Equipment award again this year, marking the seventh year in a row that it has received all three customer satisfaction awards. For a third year in a row, EVG was also recognized as one of THE BEST Suppliers of Fab Equipment to Specialty Chip Makers—increasing its score and ranking in this award category as well.
According to VLSIresearch, EVG earned its highest 10 BEST rating ever this year, with customers rating the company best at partnering, recommend supplier, technical leadership, trust in supplier, and quality of results. 2019 marks the 17th consecutive year that EVG has been listed among THE BEST Suppliers of Fab Equipment, as well as the seventh year that EVG has achieved the number one spot as the highest ranked wafer bonder supplier. Since VLSIresearch began including a fourth award category starting in 2017 for Suppliers to Foundation and Specialty Chip Makers, EVG has won awards in all four award categories.
“EV Group continues to increase its customer satisfaction over the years, with this year being its best year so far,” according to G. Dan Hutcheson, VLSIresearch CEO and chairman. “The company’s ongoing investments in technology invention, innovation and implementation, as well as in its customers, are the keys to its strong customer satisfaction performance. This is evident in the results of our survey, where EVG has consistently outperformed the largest equipment companies in its markets with a strong emphasis in partnering with customers. Excellent development partner, willingness to support "out-of-the-box" processes, excellent technical support, and responsiveness to customer needs are just a few of the stand-out comments that we received from EVG customers that participated in this year’s survey.”
