CASE STUDY SHELLCASE TECHNOLOGIES

An Israel based, leading global supplier of wafer-level electronic packaging technologies for the digital imaging and data telecommunications markets.

Although Shellcase developed superior technology, had $80M in investment and was a world-leader in its field, it was challenged to create value for its shareholders, mainly due to its choice to maintain a fabrication facility in Israel, which is far from the relevant markets.

In 2005 we led an investment of ~$18M in Shellcase, at a very low valuation, as part of a Chinese-Korean-Israeli consortium.

Immediately thereafter, Shellcase closed the fabrication facility in Israel and opened a JV manufacturing facility in China.

Today, this facility is fully operational, with an impressive client base and high volume manufacturing.

Shortly after the investment, we successfully sold Shellcase IP to Tessera Technologies, a leading US company. Investors enjoyed a significant return on a company that only a short time previously was destined for receivership.

China manufacturing facility to go public in APAC market next year at extremely high valuation (Over 250M$).
