The Micro Systems Technologies Group (MST) has just opened a sales office in Singapore in September of this year. With this new branch office, existing customers in the Asia/Pacific region will be better served, and it will also be possible to meet the increasing demand in this region for innovative solutions from the MST Group.

The Micro Systems Technologies (MST) group, a global provider of innovative components and manufacturing services for the medical device industry has experienced strong market growth in recent years. The group's customer focused strategy and growing demand have resulted in a decision to expand the US sales force. MST is pleased to welcome Peter Putnam to the company.

Micro Systems Technologies, Inc., the US sales and application engineering organization of the Micro Systems Technologies group has moved its Arizona offices to a new location.

Micro Systems Engineering, Inc. (MSEI), an MST company and a leading specialist in the development and manufacture of electronic modules for active implants, has been successfully certified according to EN ISO13485:2003, the international standard for quality management systems for medical devices.

We are pleased to announce that DYCONEX has been awarded ISO 13485:2003 certification. The ISO 13485 standard complements DYCONEX's existing ISO 9001 Quality Management System, that the company has maintained for many years and documents DYCONEX's capabilities as a supplier of high quality and reliability components to its customers in the medical market.

The Micro Systems Technologies (MST) Group (Baar, Switzerland) and DYCONEX AG (Bassersdorf, Switzerland) are pleased to announce important changes in their management structure.

Dun & Bradstreet is one of the world's most respected sources of business information, enabling companies to make commercial decisions with a high level of confidence.

We are pleased to announce that in March 2012, DYCONEX AG was awarded a No. 1 rating by Dun & Bradstreet for our financial strength, creditworthiness and minimum risk of failure.

DYCONEX has reached yet another significant milestone in its quest to bring cutting-edge technology to the marketplace: ultra-high density LCP substrates.

By the end of 2011, LITRONIK Batterietechnologie GmbH put into operation an automated cathode press for cathodes manufacturing of medium rate batteries. This innovative technology minimizes the number of necessary steps during cathode manufacturing and considerably reduces manual efforts compared to previous processes. After having experienced very positive results in daily practice, the stated goal is in future to expand the application of this technology to high power batteries which will completely replace current manufacturing processess for this battery segment.

DYCONEX has joined the PhasedCom Eurostars project consortium that has started the development of an innovative shaped (non-planar) antenna based on novel, low cost, phased array technology.

We are pleased to announce the foundation of Micro Systems Technologies, Inc. MST, Inc. has been evolved from the former DYCONEX, Inc. and is headquartered in Mesa, Arizona.

Since mid September 2010, a powerful laser welding robot has expanded the capabilities of the fabrication lines at LITRONIK Batterietechnologie GmbH in Pirna, Germany. Using a partially automated process, the new robot creates very high quality welding seams in an efficient way. With this new process, housings and lids are welded together to make LITRONIK medium-rate and high-power batteries intended for use in pacemakers and implantable defibrillators.

By the end of 2011, MSE plans to invest 1.8 million Euros in a new packaging line. This investment is an integral part of the development project to introduce the fabrication of transfer-molded stacked die BGAs (SDBGAs) at MSE.
SDBGAs are highly integrated components that consist of two or more individual chips stacked on each other and that can be handled with surface mount technology.
With this project, MSE gives its customers access to this technology even for applications whose parts counts lie far below the multi-million level otherwise required.

As a leading supplier of high-end, high quality flex printed circuits of active implantable devices, hearing-aid and other sophisticated medical applications, DYCONEX has now further enhanced its qualification testing capability by purchasing the latest model IST HC (Interconnect Stress Test, High Capacity) test equipment supplied by PWB Corporation. This latest in a series of capital equipment investments shall prove very useful in preparing for the qualification of future medical device generations as well as to validate new production processes and base materials.

On Friday, March 19, 2010 the Jobmotor Prizes for the year 2009 were awarded to the fastest growing companies of South Baden (Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany) in
