Plasma processing equipment manufacturer CORIAL SAS will act as ONIX’s agent in Spain. CORIAL recently delivered and installed a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC). Over the last few months, CORIAL has teamed up with ONIX to develop awareness of CORIAL’s plasma processing solutions in the region. This first deal with IMB-CNM-CSIC is a direct outcome of this cooperation. ONIX is a Spanish supplier of micro- and nanoelectronics, supplying R&D centers with rapid thermal processing equipment, plasma processing solutions, and vacuum system solutions. CORIAL is a developer of plasma processing technologies for specialty semiconductor markets. Under the terms of the agreement, ONIX will take on the local sales and marketing activities for CORIAL. CORIAL’s headquarters in Grenoble, France, will provide direct field service support to Spanish customers. “We are delighted to welcome ONIX to our sales network,” said Florence Olivier, sales operations manager of CORIAL. “The appointment is part of our strategy of strengthening our worldwide position to help us achieve our ambitious sales targets.”
