LIVERMORE, Calif. – September 22, 2004 — FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM), a leading provider of advanced wafer probe cards, today announced the expansion of its global network of service centers with new locations in Tokyo, Japan and Livermore, California. FormFactor’s regional service centers are equipped with state of the art equipment and trained staff to provide applications support, training and repair services to customers. The Service Centers enable customers to work more closely with FormFactor’s Service and Solutions Group to optimize volume wafer test operations for increased uptime, higher performance and lower cost.

“To demonstrate our continuous commitment to our customers’ success, we have invested in two new service centers. Our goal is to provide solutions that help our customers overcome their production and probing process challenges,” said Stefan Zschiegner, vice president of FormFactor’s Service and Solutions Group.
