MRSI was founded in 1984 and has remained focused on providing our customers with the highest quality services and solutions.  On January 23, 2002 MRSI announced an agreement to be acquired by Newport Corporation.  Today we announce some exciting news as we enter the next chapter of our 30 year long history.  Newport will sell all shares of MRSI, to a team of current management.  

Newport has decided to sell the MRSI unit, because the MRSI business is focused on turn-key die bonding and dispense systems, which is no longer a strategic fit within Newport's photonics centric strategy. Newport believes it is in their best interest and the best interest of the customers, employees andbusiness unit to sell the MRSI business to the management team who are very knowledgeable and focused on back end packaging applications. We do not plan any changes in your contact points within MRSI. Therefore you should see no change in the support or service you have been accustomed to receiving from MRSI. 

Effective the date of the close of the acquisition transaction, payments should be submitted to MRSI.  You will receive a letter shortly with the information you need to make a remittance to MRSI and the effective date of the changeover. The transaction is expected to be completed prior to year end. Please refer to Newport's public announcements for further information.

We look forward to your continued business, as we focus on your short and longer term needs over the years to come.
