Since its formation in 1999, microFAB Bremen GmbH has been successful in collecting funds, totalling 12 Mio US$ in two rounds, to support its fast growth in the MEMS foundry business. Funds were mainly used to expand the clean room and production capacity and to develop new business lines like the pressure sensor group.
The fundings by our main investors, nwu nordwest Unternehmens- beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, the Sparkasse Bremen, Bankhaus Neelmeyer and the Bremer Aufbaubank have enabled microFAB to become profitable in 2006 with the start of the serial production of three key customer products.
The current high demand in our products and foundry services requires new investments into high-throughput production tools, considerable plant extension and a transfer from 6 to 8 inch wafer size in the near future.
