Tosok Discontinues their Bonder Equipment Business

Tosok had a message distibution to their end customers on 28 September stated that
they will discontinue their semiconductor bonding equipment business on 30 Sep. Tosok quoted that the discontinuity of the semi-conductor business was Because of the industry slow down, machine unit price was decreasing and they do not see the forecast for more order in coming months. They will focus on their main business (Car industry and measuring equipment manufacturing).

All the staff in the semi-conductor business will transfer to other groups. They will lose 1.6B Yen (Around USD16M). They may maintain some service support a period of time!
