About BTU International Inc.

BTU International, Inc. supplies primarily thermal processing equipment to the alternative energy and electronics manufacturing markets worldwide.

Products

The company primarily supplies a range of thermal processing systems for the alternative energy and electronics assembly markets. Its products are used for such applications as solar cell manufacturing, nuclear fuel processing, printed circuit board assembly, and semiconductor packaging. It also provides equipment that is used for printing and coating operations.

Alternative Energy Products

For power generation applications, the company serves the solar cell and nuclear fuel markets. It supports its worldwide alternative energy customers through its global sales and service network.

Solar Cells: The company offers solar processing equipment for both silicon and thin film photovoltaics. In thin film photovoltaics, its equipment is used for both the CIGS and CdTe processes. Silicon photovoltaic applications are served by its metallization process systems and in-line diffusion processes and systems. Its solar cell processing equipment includes in-line thermal systems and coating and printing technology. The company’s MERIDIAN In-line Diffusion system features the MERIDIAN phosphorus coater, which includes key advances, such as back-side and top-side coating and an integrated dryer. The system can be configured to achieve approximately 1500 (156mm) wafers per hour.

For the metallization process, the company offers a line of thermal processing furnaces utilizing near infrared heating technology. Systems come in varying lengths and widths to suit specific throughput requirements. The product line has been specifically designed for the solar cell metallization process and is used for contact drying and firing. Specialized features include heating via densely spaced tungsten lamps and cooling rates obtained through proprietary water cooling technology. In thin film photovoltaics, the company’s thermal processing systems are sold for lab, pilot and production sized applications.

Nuclear Fuels: The company offers both walking beam and pusher systems for sintering nuclear fuel. These processes operate at temperatures in the range of 1750°C in a hydrogen reduction atmosphere. The company’s primary product for this market is its patented Walking Beam system designed for high volume manufacture of nuclear fuels. It uses a walking beam transport system to eliminate friction associated with the conveyance of heavy loads. Walking Beam systems are used to sinter gadolinium and uranium pellets used for nuclear fuel generation.

Electronics Products

Printed Circuit Board Assembly: The company sells thermal processing systems used in the solder reflow and curing stages of printed circuit board assembly. Its printed circuit board assembly products are used primarily in the high-density segments of the market that utilize surface mount technology. Its convection solder reflow systems are used to attach electronic components to the printed circuit boards, primarily in the advanced surface mount segments of this market. The company’s PYRAMAX family of convection reflow systems is designed on a single platform to be configurable, which is intended to reduce the product build cycle and allow it to meet customer demands for shorter delivery lead times. PYRAMAX systems are offered in 6, 8, 10 and 12-zone heated lengths and are capable of processing lead free solder. PYRAMAX systems are equipped with a patented flux management system that is structured to isolate the flux outside the main process chamber.

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
