Founded in 1992, Knight Auto is a precision engineering company specializing in the design and manufacturing of jigs, fixtures, device kits and other products in the testing and assembly segment of the semiconductor industry.

With more than 30 years of experience in precision machining coupled with manufacturing facilities across Singapore, Malaysia, China and the Philippines, Knight Auto’s clientele base also includes multinational corporations across the Asia Pacific region, United States and Europe.

Knight Auto was originally owned by founder James Boo and was sold to Templewater in 2023.

The semiconductor sector is growing rapidly driven by strong industry tailwinds such as the Internet of Things and continued technological advancements. This has led to shortening IC chip upgrade cycles and increasingly complex IC chips which naturally leads to an increasing demand for testing and assembly components. Knight Auto seeks to greatly benefit from these industry tailwinds by supplying industry leading product quality and service to the world’s leading IDMs and OSATs.

Furthermore, Templewater will continue to work with the Knight Auto team to build upon the great foundations of the business to further drive growth. Together, we will build upon exiting customer relationships, establish new ones, and look to further improve the overall operational efficiency of the company.
