Beaverton, OR, February 2, 2010 -- Profacture Corporations' Semiconductor Division, today announced that they received an order for a refurbished Tegal® 901e TTW Etcher from Robert Bosch, GmbH in Germany.

This order represents a repeat of systems delivered in the past by Profacture SES and further reinforces the long business relationship Profacture and Bosch have shared. Delivery of the system is scheduled for the first quarter of 2010. On-site system start-up, performance and process qualifications will also begin in the first quarter of 2010.

Due to immediate production needs, this system will be refurbished and delivered in a very short time frame which illustrates Profacture's capabilities in providing quality refurbished systems within the customers budget and delivery requirements.

Operating in the areas of automotive and industrial technology, consumer goods, and building technology, the Bosch Group reported sales of €43.7 billion in fiscal 2006, an increase of 5.4% over the previous fiscal.

In 2005, worldwide sales of the Bosch Group came to €41.5 billion (reported as US$49,102,300,000), with about US$8 billion in US sales.

In 2004, Robert Bosch GmbH was 17th on the list of Top 20 Patent Winners in the United States, with 907 new patents. This was an improvement from 20th (758 patents) in 2003, and 23rd (683 patents) in 2002.

Robert Bosch GmbH, including its wholly owned subsidiaries such as Robert Bosch in North America, is unusual in that it is an extremely large, privately owned corporation that is almost entirely (92%) owned by a charitable foundation. Thus, while most of the profits are invested back into the corporation to build for the future and sustain growth, nearly all of the profits distributed to shareholders are devoted to humanitarian causes.
