FA Group was incorporated on 9 September 1999, a company spin off from Consilium Asia Inc with initial staff of 12. However, we are not new to the industry, all the key staffs in this company are initially from FAST Associates Pte Ltd, which was is incorporated in 1994 and taken over by Consilium Asia Inc. in August 1997. In December 1998, Consilium Asia Inc. was acquired by Applied Material, the largest Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturer in the world. Applied Material decided not to continue with the system integration services. All the system Integration staffs were laid off by Consilium and decided to startup the FA to continue with the services. Today, we have increased the total staff to more than 70 people and we are still in the process of recruiting more staffs for the operation.
