Cosmic
A Global Player for Semiconductor Test Solutions – Built on Decades of Experience
Built on decades of experience
The international growth journey launched in 2022 following Xenon Private Equity’s investment in Microtest reaches a significant new milestone today with the creation of Cosmic, the new name of the Group. This unites the different industrial companies integrated over the last few years under a single brand identity. Two complementary divisions will operate independently: Cosmic Equipment and Cosmic Services.
Following the acquisitions of Test Inspire in the Netherlands, Gedec in Italy, and RoodMicrotec – a company listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange with a strong presence in the German market – the expansion continued in 2024 with the addition of ipTEST in the United Kingdom and Focused Test in the United States. Today, these combined capabilities converge into a single global brand, designed to enhance the technological heritage and distinctive expertise of each organization.
A portfolio of specialized solutions: Equipment and Services
Cosmic operates through two distinct and complementary divisions, enabling the Group to address a comprehensive portfolio of semiconductor test solutions.
Equipment
The Cosmic Equipment division is dedicated to the design and manufacturing of advanced test solutions, including Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) systems for mixed-signal and high-power applications, as well as handlers and burn-in systems. This division represents the technological core of the Group and focuses on developing high-performance platforms capable of meeting the growing demands of the automotive, industrial, power, and high-reliability markets.
Services
The Cosmic Services division provides a comprehensive portfolio of test services, supporting customers throughout the entire device lifecycle. Cosmic Services offers everything from customized test solution development, ASIC design with design-for-testability (DFT) support, to wafer sort and final production testing. On top of this, the division specializes in characterization and qualification testing in addition to burn-in and reliability testing. Cosmic ensures high-quality standards and fast execution for device troubleshooting projects ensured by advanced Failure & Technology Analysis capabilities which enable precise identification of device failures through sophisticated failure analysis techniques, thereby supporting continuous improvement and product optimization processes.
The creation of Cosmic represents a fundamental strategic step in our journey to consolidate our position as a leading international player in the semiconductor test industry.
