Marcel Vugts has stepped down as general manager of Itec Equipment, taking on the role of managing director at Trymax Semiconductor. At Itec, Vugts led strategy and operations through a period of expansion, including the transition of the back-end semiconductor equipment manufacturer, previously a division of Nexperia, into an independent entity.

In a Linkedin post announcing his career move, Vugts says that in his new role at Trymax, he returns to his “first love” of plasma technology. Trymax is a Nijmegen-headquartered equipment maker of plasma-based platforms used in semiconductor fabrication. These tools are used for etching, stripping photoresist and surface modification, among other things.
