Order received for a mask writer based on Mycronic’s replacement strategy


Täby, 4 August, 2015 - Mycronic AB (publ), has received an order for a mask
writer replacing an older system for manufacturing of display photomasks from a
customer in Asia. It is estimated that the system will be delivered during the
third quarter of 2016.

Mycronic offers mask writers for the manufacturing of photomasks within
different fields of application. These areas are display manufacturing (for TV,
smart phones and tablets among other things) and applications within the multi
-purpose market, a broad segment comprising many different application areas.
Ever since the mid 1990s, Mycronic has been delivering mask writers for
production of photomasks that are necessary in the manufacturing process for all
flat screen displays. Mycronic occupies a unique position as the only supplier
in the world of equipment for manufacturing of advanced photomasks. Since the
year 2000, Mycronic has delivered approximately 65 mask writers for display
applications. A little more than half of these are 10 or more years old.
Maintaining these systems is increasingly a challenge. Some of Mycronic's
customers with older mask writers also need to modernize their production
equipment.

To offer customers a wider choice, Mycronic has established a replacement
strategy to address the needs described above. Mycronic offers a scalable
system, built on the Prexision platform, in exchange for an older system. This
offering allows customers to increase productivity. At the same time a long-term
service solution is secured for the customer.
”This is the second order for a mask writer to be delivered in exchange for one
of the customer´s older systems. The mask writer is scalable, which provides the
customer with the possibility to further upgrade the mask writer later on,” says
Magnus Råberg, Senior VP & General Manager for business area PG at Mycronic AB.
“The order confirms that our replacement offering addresses several of the
challenges that our customers are facing.”

The price level for a replacement mask writer built on the Prexision platform is
normally in the range of USD 12–16 million depending on the configuration and
type of machine traded in.
