The international growth journey launched in 2022 following Xenon Private Equity’s investment in Microtest reaches a significant new milestone with the creation of Cosmic, the new name of the group. This unites the different industrial companies integrated over the last few years under a single brand identity. Two complementary divisions will operate independently: Cosmic Equipment and Cosmic Services.
Following the acquisitions of Test Inspire in the Netherlands, Gedec in Italy and RoodMicrotec — a company listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange with a strong presence in the German market — the expansion continued in 2024 with the addition of ipTEST in the U.K. and Focused Test in the U.S. Today, these combined capabilities converge into a single global brand, designed to enhance the technological heritage and distinctive expertise of each organization.
With more than 400 professionals and 15 direct locations across Europe, the U.S. and Asia, Cosmic combines the strength of an international structure with close proximity to local markets. Cosmic offers customers a solid, integrated and highly specialized global presence.

Cosmic operates through two distinct and complementary divisions, enabling the group to address a comprehensive portfolio of semiconductor test solutions.
The Cosmic Equipment division is dedicated to the design and manufacturing of advanced test solutions, including automatic test equipment (ATE) systems for mixed-signal and high-power applications, as well as handlers and burn-in systems. This division represents the technological core of the group and focuses on developing high-performance platforms capable of meeting the growing demands of the automotive, industrial, power and high-reliability markets.
The Cosmic Services division provides a comprehensive portfolio of test services, supporting customers throughout the entire device lifecycle. Cosmic Services offers everything from customized test solution development, ASIC design with design-for-testability (DFT) support, to wafer sort and final production testing. On top of this, the division specializes in characterization and qualification testing in addition to burn-in and reliability testing. Cosmic ensures high-quality standards and fast execution for device troubleshooting projects ensured by advanced failure and technology analysis capabilities, which enable precise identification of device failures through sophisticated failure analysis techniques, thereby supporting continuous improvement and product optimization processes.
