BUSINESS SUMMARY 
Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. designs, manufactures, and sells capital equipment and expendable tools, as well as services, maintains, repairs, and upgrades equipment, used to assemble semiconductor devices. It operates in two segments, Equipment and Expendable Tools. The Equipment segment manufactures and sells a line of ball bonders, heavy wire wedge bonders, and die bonders. Ball bonders are used to connect very fine wires, primarily made of gold or copper, between the bond pads of the semiconductor device or die, and the leads on its package. Heavy wire wedge bonders are used in the power semiconductor and automotive power module markets. Die bonders are used to attach a die to the substrate or lead frame, which will house the semiconductor device. The Expendable Tools segment manufactures various expendable tools for a range of semiconductor packaging applications. Its expendable tools include capillaries, bonding wedges, and saw blades. The company serves primarily semiconductor device manufacturers, their subcontract assembly suppliers, other electronics manufacturers, and automotive electronics suppliers in the United States and the Asia/Pacific region. It sells its products through direct sales force, manufacturersÂ’ representatives, and distributors. The company was founded in 1951 and is headquartered in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania.
