Interview with Daniel Schultze, Managing Director of Tresky
“We do not offer a machine,
but a ready-made application”
Tresky manufactures die bonding systems for high mix–low volume
production programmes. Managing Director Daniel Schultze explains
why the company places particular focus on the development and
production of fully-automatic machines.
EPP Europe: Tresky is one of about eight companies
in the world that offer fully automatic die
bonding machines for the electronics and semiconductor
industries. You specialise in high-precision
bonding of high mix–low volume production
programmes with emphasis on single laser, laser
bars and sensor technology. How did this corporate
focus come about?
Daniel Schultze: The initial impulse to begin this
work came through close cooperation with customers
such as Jenoptik, and regular contact with universities
and research institutes. It is an alliance
which benefits both parties. We had already built up
a knowledge of the area by developing appropriate
solutions for various tasks. This expertise enables us
to develop a custom-fit solution for almost any
problem a customer has. We start in CAD and can
react very flexibly to their requirements. All the
while, we maintain close ties with universities because
of their research capacities. If research and industrial
development work together from the outset,
something good usually comes out of it.
EPP Europe: Can you give an example of this
kind of collaboration?
Daniel Schultze: We are currently in the process
of evaluating a research project in collaboration with
Kiel University of Applied Sciences and other
partners to develop new modules for sintering highand
low-power components. These components are
used in the e-mobility sector, in e-cars, e-bikes and
e-motorbikes; but they can also be found in wind
turbines and high-voltage converter modules, in
smart refrigerators and military applications. Developments
in the field of autonomous vehicles, along
with the phasing out of fossil fuels, are driving the
development of this technology, as these sectors
require specific types of electronics.

EPP Europe: You refer to your company as a
‘total solution provider’. What do you mean by this?
Daniel Schultze: Companies based in Germany, a
high-wage paying country, cannot compete with
Asian manufacturers. The German market is therefore
not attractive to companies that want to pro-
