HONG KONG, Aug 1, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - ASM Pacific Technology Limited ("ASMPT") is pleased to announce its strategic investment in a software developer Critical Manufacturing, S.A. ("Critical Manufacturing"), which is headquartered in Porto, Portugal. Critical Manufacturing is a leading software developer and publisher of state-of-the art manufacturing execution systems (MES).
