History
Technoprobe was founded in Merate near Milan in 1996 by Giuseppe Crippa, who had developed a new and more rapid method to manufacture probe cards.[2]
In 2007, Technoprobe marketed the first probe card with vertical MEMS.[3]
By 2017, it was the world's third largest manufacturer of probe cards,[4] and by 2020, it was second largest.[2][5][6]
It became a public company in 2022, with shares available for trading at Milan's stock exchange.[7]
In 2023, Technoprobe acquired Harbor Electronics, a company based in Santa Clara, California.[8] Teradyne acquired a 10% equity stake and sold its device interface solutions division to Technoprobe.[9]
