Through the acquisition, Holland-based TES America will receive the 3M Touch inventory, certain manufacturing assets, photolithography assets within the supply chain and the rights to intellectual property related to the 3M Touch Systems business, which specializes in Surface Capacitive (SCT) and Projected Capacitive (PCAP) components and displays for a variety of commercial applications.
