Chip equipment firm expands in Scotland

East Kilbride-based semiconductor equipment refurbishment specialist, Semi Scenic, is looking to recruit more engineers.

Semi Scenic has seen a strong upturn in sales this year as it took advantage of competitors leaving the market for semiconductor equipment. 

“We have seen sales for the first half of 2010 increase four times compared to last year as a number of our competitors have withdrawn from the market,” said Semi Scenic managing director, Don Nicolson.

The company has already doubled its head count to 24 staff over the last year.

“But we still need more people to cope with the level of customer demand we are seeing throughout Europe,” said Nicolson.

Nicolson believes the business this year will achieve sales of around £5m.

An important part of this is the company’s relationship with US-based business Lam Research, which recognises Semi Scenic as its legacy etch system refurbishment provider in Europe.

Semi Scenic recruits local young engineers has trained a number of youngsters introduced to it by the East Kilbride-based training organisation, EKGTA.
