ASMPT announced the divestiture of its SMT business
36Kr learned that on January 22, global semiconductor packaging equipment company ASMPT announced the spin-off of its SMT business, officially stating that it aims to focus on the core semiconductor track. This SMT business originated from the acquisition of a Siemens division in 2011, with core assets and operations concentrated overseas. Analysts believe that this spin-off is not merely an asset optimization but is aimed at reducing long-arm jurisdiction risks and clarifying the value of core semiconductor assets, clearing key obstacles for Chinese capital involvement
