Semiconductor Technologies & Instruments (?STI?) was incorporated in 1997 following the merger of two business units of Texas Instruments (Quality Assurance System and Process Automation Centre - Singapore) with the equipment division of Telford. In 1998, through a corporate re-structuring, STI became the Equipment division under the ASTI Group. Building on the strong technological pedigree, STI has since established itself as a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the global market. Headquartered in Singapore, STI has operations in China, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan and Europe.
