What Eda Industries does

EDA Industries S.p.A. is an Italian-headquartered, privately-held engineering company founded in 1993 that designs and manufactures turn-key burn-in, reliability testing, and wafer-level burn-in systems for the semiconductor industry. Its product portfolio centers on three thermal platform families (ETNA, ERIS, QM48), the SocrATE/AWL-BITS wafer-level burn-in system for wide-bandgap (SiC and GaN) devices, test electronics (MOSBTS-M, VBTS-M), custom burn-in boards, engineering and pre-burn-in test stations (ETS, PBTS), and proprietary software (EDA Operating System, EDA Thule for data analysis). EDA explicitly targets integrated device manufacturers, foundries, OSATs, and power module manufacturers — particularly in the SiC and GaN device segment — where it claims the largest product portfolio in the market, with platforms compliant to standards such as AQG324 for SiC device qualification.

EDA generates revenue primarily through direct, consultative sales of high-value capital equipment bundled with software, complemented by services including reliability lab testing, application engineering, and after-sales service and repair. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and sales are project-based with no e-commerce or self-serve channel. The company operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Italy, Singapore (Asia HQ), Malaysia, the Philippines, China, and Morocco, and in May 2025 announced a joint venture with ChipTest Engineering Private Limited to enter India. Capital expansion in 2024 included a new ~5,000 sqm Malaysia plant and a 2,500 sqm Catania facility. EDA reported record revenue of €44.5 million in FY2023 and again for the 12 months ending July 2024, and remains under the control of founder/chairman Fortunato Palella through Eda Holding S.r.l., with Ma. Christina Allarces serving as CEO.

Core offering

Eda Industries designs, manufactures, and supplies turn-key burn-in and reliability testing equipment for semiconductor devices, power modules, and electronic modules. The portfolio spans thermal platforms (ETNA, ERIS, QM48), the SocrATE/AWL-BITS wafer-level burn-in system for wide-bandgap devices, test electronics (MOSBTS-M, VBTS-M), custom burn-in boards, pre-burn-in and engineering test stations, and proprietary software (EDA Operating System and EDA Thule). The company also delivers reliability lab, application engineering, service & repair, and research & development services globally.

Product overview

Eda Industries offers a comprehensive portfolio of burn-in, reliability testing, and wafer-level burn-in equipment for the semiconductor industry. The product line centers on three main thermal platform families: ETNA (for package-level burn-in), ERIS (for H3TRB/HTRB testing), and QM48 (high-capacity systems). These are complemented by the SocrATE/AWL-BITS system for wafer-level burn-in on WBG devices. Supporting the equipment are test electronics platforms (MOSBTS-M and VBTS-M), custom burn-in boards, and test stations (PBTS for pre-burn-in verification and ETS for engineering testing). The software portfolio includes the EDA Operating System Software for test development and production management, and EDA Thule for data analysis. The equipment serves multiple technology segments including SiC & GaN, power modules, microprocessors, analog/digital/mixed signal, high power, MEMS, memories, and electronic modules.
