Aixtron attracts interest from Samsung, others
Aixtron, the listed German maker of equipment for the semiconductor industry, is a subject of takeover rumors, with Korean technology company Samsung especially mentioned as a possible buyer, Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported without identifying sources.
As part of a wider report about yesterday's stock exchange movements, the German-language daily cited an unnamed trader as saying that there has been speculation about companies, particularly Samsung, being interested in buying Aixtron. The newspaper linked this information with a rise in Aixtron's stock price yesterday.
