Riber's share price rose on Tuesday on the Paris Bourse following the announcement of a new order for two production machines in Asia.

In a press release issued this morning, the specialist in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) equipment for the semiconductor industry states that this "major" order concerns two "MBE 6000" production systems.

The contract was awarded to an Asian industrial customer to produce HEMT epiwafers (field-effect transistors) for mobile communications.

The machines will also enable the company to manufacture antimony-based optoelectronic components for RF and optoelectronic communication devices.

Riber explains that its MBE 6000 system was chosen for its high performance in producing complex semiconductor heterostructures with high yields.

Its ability to operate in automatic mode, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, will enable its customer to significantly increase its production capacity.

The MBE 6000, of which some forty machines are currently in operation worldwide, will be delivered in 2024.

Following this announcement, Riber's shares listed on the Paris Bourse were up by more than 1.2% at midday on Tuesday.
