Manz Autom. AG sells Asian business in management buy-out

Reutlingen, 28 February 2025 – The insolvency administrator of Manz Autom. AG, attorney Mr. Martin Mucha, and Mr. Robert Lin, General Manager of Manz Autom. China and Manz Autom. Taiwan, signed a purchase agreement today, 28 February 2025, for the acquisition of the Manz Autom. Asia sub-group by Mr. Lin. The proceeds from the sale will go to the insolvency estate of Manz Autom. AG. The purchase price remains confidential.

The sub-group Manz Autom. Asia Ltd., headquartered in Hong Kong (PR China), includes the subsidiaries Manz Autom. China Suzhou Ltd (Suzhou, PR China), Manz Autom. Chungli Ltd. (Chungli, Taiwan), Manz Autom. Taiwan Ltd (Chungli, Taiwan) and Manz Autom. India Private Ltd. (New Delhi, India). The companies in Taiwan and PR China serve as production, development, sales, and service locations of Manz Autom. group, while customers in India are locally supported with sales and service offerings.

Manz Autom. ’s Asian business focuses on manufacturing equipment for semiconductor production, including the FOPLP process (Panel Level Packaging) and innovative digital printing solutions, meeting the increasing demands for performance and efficiency in the rapidly growing semiconductor industry. Additionally, contract manufacturing is provided for renowned clients. Proximity to customers is crucial given the high complexity of manufacturing processes.

Mr. Robert Lin has been with Manz Autom. since 15 years and served as General Manager of Manz Autom. China and Manz Autom. Taiwan. Under his leadership, a dedicated sales team and a more defined market presence were established, significantly increasing market visibility.

With the management buy-out, the foundation for the company’s continued development is now in place. In his new role as an investor, Mr. Robert Lin will take over all approximately 380 Manz Autom. employees in the Asia region and plans to further expand the existing strategic direction. The purchase will be backed by strong investors with long term experience in the semiconductor industry. This will secure the necessary funds for the future growth strategy of Manz Autom. Asia.

Insolvency administrator Martin Mucha expressed satisfaction with the sale to the experienced Manz Autom. manager: “Mr. Robert Lin has the full trust of the Manz Autom. AG Management Board. We are confident that the Asian business is in excellent hands with Mr. Lin and his team.”
