Asyst sells assets to three companies
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Ending perhaps the last chapter in a painful saga, Asyst Technologies Inc. has agreed to sell its entire assets to three companies: Crossing Automation Inc., Murata Machinery Ltd. and the Peer Group.
In the first deal, Asyst has sold its automated material handling systems (AMHS) line to Japanese rival Murata, according to court documents. That deal is worth $110 million, according to the Fabtech Web site.

In the second deal, Crossing Automation has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Asyst's atmospheric technologies. The sale includes Asyst's sorter lines, EFEM (equipment front end module) and RFID products.

And finally, Asyst has sold its connectively software to the Peer Group. After the final approval of these deals, this essentially means that fab-automation pioneer Asyst will no longer exist.
