Within VDL ETG, the department Technology & Development (T&D) is responsible for the specification, design and engineering of high tech / precision modules, professional products and capital intensive equipment. One of the key-pillars for the future growth of VDL ETG is Japan. In many product markets that fit our capabilities often Japanese companies are leading. Since the EPA (Economic Partner Agreement, February 2019) is in place between Japan and Europe, VDL ETG started to explore opportunities for collaboration with leading Japanese companies in both the Semiconductor and Analytical Industry. During first meetings it was confirmed that our proposition of in-house Design-, Engineering and Manufacturing services is unique and relevant to these companies in Japan.
