| Yamatake History |
| Yamatake has nearly a hundred years of experience
in measurement and control, with close ties
to the US that stretch back to 1920. In the
last century, the growth of the semiconductor
industry brought fresh opportunities to harness
our considerable expertise in control products
and sensing technologies. We rose to the challenge,
and now we are able to offer optimum solutions
and services that meet the pressing needs
of this new century. |
