FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BPM Microsystems Celebrates 40 Years of Innovation in Device Programming
Houston, TX – August 14, 2025 – BPM Microsystems, a global leader in manual and automated device programming solutions, proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary. This August marks exactly 40 years since BPM’s founding in 1985, a milestone that reflects four decades of groundbreaking advancements in programming technology—transforming the semiconductor programming industry and empowering electronics manufacturers worldwide.
In the fast-paced world of technology, few companies can proudly celebrate four decades of continuous innovation. Throughout its history, BPM has successfully navigated economic cycles, embraced rapid technological change, and adapted to global market challenges—all while consistently delivering world-class solutions to customers in more than 50 countries.
A Legacy of Innovation
BPM Microsystems was founded in Houston, Texas, with a vision to revolutionize device programming by making it faster, more precise, and highly efficient. Over the past four decades, BPM has consistently set new standards in quality, reliability, and performance. The company introduced the industry’s first universal device programmer in 1992, enabling manufacturers to program multiple device technologies with a single machine.
In the mid-1990s, BPM pioneered high-speed automated programming systems by combining universal programming technology with fine-pitch placement and repeatability. This innovation paved the way for the groundbreaking 7th, 9th, and 10th Generation technologies, which have continued to set industry benchmarks and have collectively programmed billions of devices over the years. The release of the BPM310 in 2021 further cemented BPM’s position as a leader in automated programming, delivering unmatched flexibility, speed, and scalability in a compact footprint. In 2024, BPM introduced the BPM210, a Semi-Automatic Universal Desktop Programmer, establishing a new product category that bridges the gap between manual and automated programming solutions.
Who Depends on BPM Microsystems?
BPM Microsystems’ solutions power mission-critical applications that impact practically every person on the planet. From automobiles and smartphones to Internet routers, satellites, and life-saving medical equipment, our products ensure the reliable operation of essential technology.

Statement and Policy
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules adopted in connection therewith, require certain corporations to report the use of “Conflict Minerals” in the manufacture of their products. Generally, Conflict Minerals collectively refer to cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, including tantalum, tin, and tungsten, which originate from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or specified adjoining countries.
BPM Microsystems Inc., as a privately held company, is not subject to the Conflict Minerals rules and reporting requirements. We do understand many of our customers may be subject to this rule and we are committed to helping our customers comply with their reporting requirements.
We periodically conduct Conflict Minerals surveys of our relevant suppliers in conformance with IPC1755 to create BPM Microsystems Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT). The purpose of this document is to collect sourcing information on tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold used in BPM’s products.
BPM will continue to work with our suppliers to ensure that we are able to identify the use of Conflict Minerals in our supply chain and that the representations made in our CMRT compliance statement remain accurate. To that end, we reserve the right to amend this statement at any time based on subsequent developments or information.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this statement, please do not hesitate to contact us.

BPM Microsystems, Inc. will display its 10th Generation programming technology platform and the BPM310 Automated Programming System at the IPC APEX Expo, from April 9-11, 2024, in Anaheim, California at the Anaheim Convention Center. BPM’s 10th Generation offers the industry’s fastest programming times for UFS, eMMC, Flash, and MCUs with twice as many sockets per site as its predecessor. The BPM310 offers a capacity of up to 48 sockets, automotive-level quality, and reliability in a small footprint. 10th Gen delivers the fastest UFS programming performance in the industry achieving up to 440MB per second Read and 201MB per second Write. First-part time is accelerated owing to the fact that UFS programming can commence without pausing for data to download.
Set Appointment for One-on-One Demo
IPC APEX ’24
IPC APEX Expo is the largest event for electronics manufacturing in North America, attracting more than 9,000 professionals from 45 countries. From the industry’s leading technical conference and application-focused professional development courses to the innovation-driven exhibit floor, IPC APEX EXPO 2024 will be packed with seminars, awards, and amazing technology.
BPM is celebrating 23 years of exhibiting at APEX and has been a proud Member of IPC for 25 years. Make plans now to attend IPC APEX Expo ’24 April 9-11, 2024 at the Anaheim Convention Center. (view event page here).
BPM310 APS
The BPM310 is positioned to outperform higher-priced systems and includes advanced features such as WhisperTeach™, on-the-fly vision alignment, CSP support, serialization, encryption, and JobMaster while providing true universal technology. 10th Gen supports the broadest range of devices including MCUs, eMMC, NAND, Serial Flash, UFS, and others. Highly configurable, the BPM310 provides options for Tape I/O, Tray I/O, Tube I/O, laser marking, and 3D inspection.
“We’re anticipating another great show at APEX 2024, and we’re looking forward to meeting customers in this fantastic setting.” says Penny Santhanam, Sr. Director of Customer Success at BPM. “The market has really responded positively to our 10th Generation technology. The flexible configurability of the BPM310 with scalable socket density has been a game changer for our customers. The small footprint, amazing productivity, and ease of use set it apart in the industry.”
The BPM310 leverages much of the socket adapter and algorithm development currently available on BPM’s 9th Generation systems. And like 9th Gen automated programmers, the BPM310 continues to offer ease of operation and fast setup with award-winning BPWin process control software and patented WhisperTeach™. WhisperTeach™ automatically teaches the critical Z-height of each pick/place location with 15-micron accuracy. Accurate automated teaching is vital for small packages due to fundamental human limitations. In addition, WhisperTeach™ saves an average of 83% of the time required for the job setup compared to traditional methods while increasing quality and yield
BPM manufactures 10th Generation systems in their ISO 9001:2015 certified plant located in Houston, Texas, and their products carry the CE Mark. BPM continues to offer 9th Generation programmers for manual and automated programming. If you are attending APEX 2024, please visit booth 2720 and we will be happy to discuss your programming requirements and demonstrate our BPM310 Automated Programming System.
