OAO Planar intends to create a new model of assembly equipment for manufacturing microelectronics, representatives of the Belarusian Industry Ministry told BelTA.

In July 2014 a delegation of the Second Research Institute of the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation and the North University of China visited the Belarusian enterprise. The sides discussed prospects of cooperation in implementing joint projects. As a result of the visit a memorandum of cooperation between the Belarusian company and the Second Research Institute in implementing the project to create a new model of assembly equipment was signed.
