Adventa Control Technologies, Inc. celebrates 10 years of service to the semiconductor industry

February 5, 2008, Plano, TX: Adventa Control Technologies, Inc. (ACT) proudly celebrates its tenth anniversary of providing control and productivity software to the semiconductor industry. ACT established its mission statement in 1998: “Adventa Control Technologies, Inc. provides manufacturing software solutions focused on improving our customers’ profitability while maximizing our shareholders value. We will support our customers with an unwavering commitment to quality and customer service.”  ACT currently serves customers in the USA, Mexico, Asia, Japan and Europe.

On May 8th, 1998, Adventa Control Technologies, Inc. incorporated under the umbrella of a private equity firm, The Gores Group. In an interview with Business Wire in 1998, Gores Group chairman and chief executive officer Alec Gores expressed confidence in the new company’s future. "We are making a serious commitment to serving the semiconductor industry with the standard in factory automation software, and we are gaining some of the most talented software engineers in the industry, whose expertise will be key to our plans to grow this business."

His words have proven to be prophetic. After ten profitable years, ACT is the oldest company in the Gores affiliate. To date, ACT’s first product to market, ControlWORKS, has been installed on over 2000 tools shipped worldwide. At the 1998 Semicon West tradeshow, ACT introduced its first previously unreleased product, ProcessWORKS, which went on to become the industry's leading software for run-to-run advanced process control (APC). Today, Adventa Control Technologies, Inc. has nine products developed to increase tool productivity, eliminate operator errors, minimize rework, eliminate scrap, and increase yields. More than 18,000 active systems worldwide use ACT software, and approximately 80% of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers depend on ACT software to provide millions of dollars of positive impact to their operations every day.

The aforementioned "talented software engineers" who were part of the inception of  Adventa Control Technologies, Inc, continue to offer an average of twenty-two years of specialized experience in the semiconductor industry via ACT engineering services and ongoing development. ACT president Dan Schell commented, "Our success at Adventa can be traced not only to the quality of our products but also to the quality of each one of our employees. We continue to add significant value to the bottom line of our customers by remaining firmly committed to our customers." ACT has planned a luncheon in May to honor these industry pioneers and thank them for ten years of loyal service.
