What our customers say about us
Waander van Heerde, chief scientific officer of Enzyre: “CITC is a great partner working on the introduction of new chip packaging technologies offering us small-scale production in a research setting. Besides, we value the good infrastructure, short lines and flexibility. The fact that all relevant parties involved in chip production, front end and back end, are located on or nearby the Novio Tech Campus is a huge benefit for us. CITC is a valuable addition to this ecosystem.”
Roeland Brugman, CEO and founder of AMSYSTEMS: “CITC’s expertise in high-complexity, extreme precision modules and cooperative, open mindset enabled things that seemed to be impossible. This way of working together demonstrated itself as very valuable.”
Xiao Tang, co-founder and owner of Mintres: “CITC and Mintres work in the same field, have a common background and language but also have their own specialty. Technical processing of diamond is what makes Mintres unique. CITC works on chip integration technology. With CITC’s experienced people, practical attitude and short lines we are able to get faster results in innovative chip packages. For sure more collaboration will follow.”
