ipTEST attains IMAPS membership
ipTEST has become a corporate member of the UK chapter of IMAPS, the International Microelectronics Assembly & Packaging Society.
IMAPS is the largest microelectronic packaging society in the world and is is a global community of microelectronic related engineers, scientists, manufacturers, end-users and supply chain companies. The Society aims to support the development and growth of the Microelectronics and related industries and to aid the transfer of knowledge and information.
ipTEST will benefit from IMAPS trusted reputation within industry and academia and help us expand our understanding of packaging and handling technologies which goes hand-in-hand with device testing, especially as material technologies continue to push the envelope of speed and power and challenge device inductance and power ratings. In return, we aim to increase IMAPS profile within semiconductor test and widen their sphere of expertise.

Covid-19 second update
Having adjusted to the ‘new normal’, ipTEST strengthens its operations during the global pandemic.
We adjusted our working patterns and re-organised our office and factory spaces at the beginning of the emergency and these measures have ensured that we are able to continue to operate safely and at full capacity. Our number one priority continues to be the safety of those around us and their families.
Where customer site visits are not possible due to travel and quarantine restrictions, our Support teams are able to help customers virtually through videoconference facilities and we are increasing our library of training and installation videos which customers can download from our website. Thanks to the support of our loyal partners, our supply chain continues to ensure we are able to deliver customer orders on time.
Please drop us a line on our feedback page if you have any comments or questions.
COVID-19 update
ipTEST is open as normal and continuing to supply orders to their acknowledged delivery dates.
Like many businesses across the globe at the moment, ipTEST is balancing the requirements of upholding sensible precautions against Covid-19 to keep our staff and society safe whilst also keeping the business running smoothly and delivering customer systems, spares and repairs.
We have adjusted our working practices so that office staff and support engineers are able to work remotely, whilst those staff dealing with assembling, packing and shipping continue to work in the factory to make sure we continue to supply products.
We would like to thank our employees, suppliers and customers for their continued support and we will keep you informed when the situation changes. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any questions.
