SEMX Corp. has confirmed that its Materials Group received a
significant product order, valued at approximately $5 million, from
an industry-leading, fiber-optic component manufacturer. The order is
the single largest initial order of one specific product in SEMX's
history. SEMX expects production to begin in the second quarter of
2001 after completion of product qualification. "This order validates
SEMX's strategy of providing component packaging for fiber-optic,
wireless and Internet infrastructure customers," said Frank J.
Polese, vice chairman and president of the Materials Group. "Since
the acquisition of the ceramic packaging division in May 2000, we
have been moving toward high value-added assembly products, which
combine multi-layer ceramic packaging technology with our proprietary
thermal management materials. This allows SEMX to offer customers
complete vertical integration for packaging of high-speed digital
devices."
