“AEM has grown from strength to strength. Through strategic acquisitions in Singapore and worldwide, our aim is to become a critical node of the global value chain to deliver scalable, leadingedge, and resilient test solutions in an increasingly complex world.”

“While we have grown significantly over the past years, what has not changed is the culture we have built based on our humility to listen to our customers, mutual respect for our colleagues and supply chain partners, and ultimately drive to deliver the best outcomes for our stakeholders.”

Acquisitions in 2020
In the first quarter of 2020, we completed our acquisition of Mu-TEST, a French-based provider of highly customisable, application-specific, FPGA-based testers. Mu-TEST’s strong team of highly experienced engineers complements AEM’s System Level Test (SLT) engineering team, enabling the delivery of AEM’s Asynchronous Modular Parallel Smart (AMPS)-based SLT+ solutions to the semiconductor and electronics markets.
AEM closed its acquisition of California-based DB Design Group, Inc in July 2020. DB Design is a world-renowned supplier of automation fixtures, device kits, and other test-related products. This acquisition strengthens AEM’s design and application engineering capabilities in the consumables space, expands AEM’s customer portfolio in the semiconductor and electronics spaces, and gives AEM an expanded R&D and engineering presence in the US, enhancing AEM’s overall customer intimacy.
Lattice Innovation, Inc is a California-based company with exceptional design, simulation, and process services in the active thermal control space. Lattice Innovation’s capabilities combined with AEM’s existing comprehensive thermal management, vision, and deep automation solutions ensure that AEM will continue to deliver exciting, industry-leading test solutions for the Computing, Automotive, Mobility, and Optical Electronics test markets.
With custom-native as our DNA combined with a singular focus on our customers, AEM is uniquely positioned to build and innovate application-specific solutions that meet our customers’ test needs. Our M&A programme will continue to be a strong complement to the organic growth of our technological talents and capabilities to drive AEM forward as a leader in the test industry.
It was exciting to share with the ministers some of the key solutions that my team and I had been working on. It was a proud moment that the team was acknowledged as part of a global technology company contributing to Singapore’s manufacturing industry.
In 2019, we visited Lion Home at Bishan to engage with its residents.
Healthcare staff Changi General Hospital and Sengkang General Hospital received hampers, to appreciate them for who working long hours during COVID-19.
AEM organizes annual corporate social responsibility activities for our employees to participate. COVID-19 provided both an obstacle and opportunities for us to serve the community. Although we could not organize major charitable activities; we turned to other ways to reach out to the community.
Employees can donate their vacation leave to convert to cash to help colleagues who faced financial difficulties due to the pandemic.
Our US teams donated masks to several places of worships.
