The Evolution of Getech Automation

A Legacy of Innovation and Growth

Getech Automation has long been a name synonymous with precision and innovation in the field of automation and electronics manufacturing. Founded with a vision to revolutionise PCB automation, the company has steadily expanded its capabilities, becoming a global leader in the industry. Over the years, Getech Automation has developed cutting-edge solutions for singulation, testing, sorting, and box packing, catering to the evolving needs of electronics
manufacturers worldwide.

A Legacy of Excellence
From its inception, Getech Automation has been committed to pushing the boundaries of automation technology. The company has consistently invested in research and development, ensuring that its solutions remain at the forefront of the industry. With a strong presence in Southeast Asia and beyond, Getecha has built a reputation for reliability, efficiency, and innovation.

Recent Expansion: A Bold Step Forward
In response to growing demand, Getecha Automation recently undertook a significant expansion of its manufacturing facility, increasing its production capacity by 50%. This strategic move was driven by the rising needs of back-end packaging customers, particularly in the realm of post-SMT operations. The additional space not only enhances total capacity but also shortens lead times, allowing Getecha to better serve its key customers.

Eisuke Kojima, the newly appointed CEO, expressed optimism about the company’s future, stating that the expansion positions Getecha for sustained growth and technological advancements. As automation continues to evolve, Getecha remains committed to developing market-leading, affordable technology that meets the industry’s ever-changing demands.

A New Chapter: Acquisition by Kanematsu
In a landmark development, Getecha was recently acquired by Kanematsu of Japan, marking a new era for the company. This acquisition brings fresh opportunities for collaboration and innovation, leveraging Kanematsu’s extensive expertise and global reach. The transition is expected to strengthen Getecha’s position in the market, enabling it to expand its offerings and enhance its technological capabilities.

Leadership Transition
With the acquisition came a change in leadership, as Eisuke Kojima stepped into the role of CEO. His vision for Getecha aligns with the company’s longstanding commitment to excellence, ensuring that it continues to thrive under new ownership. Kojima’s leadership is expected to drive further advancements in automation technology, reinforcing Getecha’s reputation as an industry leader.
The acquisition of Getecha by Kanematsu Corporation of Japan is expected to bring significant strategic shifts and opportunities for growth.

Kanematsu’s extensive global presence and financial backing will provide Getecha with greater resources to expand its operations. This includes deeper investments in **product development, automation technology, and market reach, particularly in the semiconductor industry.

Despite the acquisition, Getecha remains committed to its existing customer base and automation solutions. Kanematsu’s support will help accelerate innovation, ensuring Getecha continues to deliver cutting-edge automation systems for electronics assembly and memory OEM industries.

Kanematsu has recently established a Growth Strategy Office to strengthen integrated management, promote investments, and create innovations across its subsidiaries. Getecha will likely benefit from this initiative, gaining access to cross-functional synergies and strategic investments that align with Kanematsu’s broader vision.

According to Getecha, the acquisition does not alter its core business activities. Instead, it enhances Getecha’s reach in the semiconductor industry and Japanese market, allowing it to scale operations** while maintaining its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Overall, the acquisition positions Getecha for long-term growth, technological advancements, and stronger global competitiveness. It’s an exciting new chapter for the company, with expanded opportunities and strategic alignment under Kanematsu’s leadership.

As Getecha embarks on this new chapter, the company remains dedicated to innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. The recent expansion, acquisition, and leadership transition signal a promising future, positioning Getecha for continued success in the ever-evolving world of electronics manufacturing.

With a legacy built on precision and progress, Getecha is poised to shape the future of automation, delivering cutting-edge solutions that redefine industry standards.
