SAN JOSE -- Maskless Lithography has named C Sun Manufacturing to handle sales and distribution of its direct-write digital imaging technology in Asia.

The deal takes effect immediately in China and Taiwan.

Maskless Lithography previously had an agreement with Hakuto Co., which remains intact but no longer exclusive.

“Maskless' digital imaging products are receiving broad acceptance globally, and it is clear that we need additional sales support as we expand into the overall Asian marketplace," said Bill Elder, president and chief executive.
