The acquisition of Nanium is expected to strengthen Amkor’s position in the market of wafer-level packaging for smartphones, tablets and other applications.
Nanium reports it has shipped nearly one billion WLFO packages to date using a 300mm Wafer-Level Packaging (WLP) production line. Portugal-based Nanium currently has around 550 employees and reported annual sales of USD 40 million for its fiscal year ended 30 September 2016.
