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]
