YES (Yield Engineering Systems, Inc.), a leading manufacturer of process equipment for semiconductor advanced packaging, Life Science and "More-than-Moore" applications, has announced that it has signed an agreement with Gaia Science Pte. Ltd of Singapore to sell and service YES equipment in southeast Asia and mainland China. 

The partnership, which began in early September, is expected to be particularly helpful in showcasing YES's monolayer coating and plasma cleaning products to the region's dynamic Life Science Industries.

"We see considerable synergy between our products and Gaia's expertise in the areas of microfluidics, engineering polymers, genomics, 3D printing, DNA diagnostics, and oligonucleotides research. That synergy, together with both our companies' experience in semiconductors, gives us high hopes for this new venture," said Rezwan Lateef, President of YES.

"YES products are well-accepted among the world's leading Life Science companies, and we look forward to strengthening our relationships with these customers in our region. We see a very good fit for YES products in our portfolio. With our extensive coverage of the Life Science and physical science markets, we expect to leverage the capabilities that YES products bring to both the biotech and semiconductor sectors," said Ms Weng Lijuan, Managing Director at Gaia.
