Advantest Recognized for Exceeding Key Criteria in Cost, Delivery, Quality and Engineering Service

TOKYO, Japan – Oct. 3, 2023 – Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857) today announced it has received a 2022 Best Supplier Award from longtime partner ASE Technology Holding Co. Ltd. at ASE Holdings’ annual Supplier Day. Advantest participated in this event, held August 18 at the Taipei Grand Hyatt Hotel in Taiwan, alongside 400 attendees representing 100 suppliers that work with ASE Holdings and its subsidiaries.

ASE Holdings cited the V93000 and T2000 SoC test systems in naming Advantest as Best Testing Equipment Supplier for 2022 – an award Advantest has received multiple times over the past decade.
