Early Life
Giuseppe Crippa was born in Robbiate, Italy, on May 5, 1935. He developed an interest in electronics early in life. After a brief experience at Breda, he joined SGS-ATES, later known as STMicroelectronics, in 1960. He worked there for over 30 years, holding significant global roles in production, processes, and quality management. During this time, Crippa's passion for entrepreneurship grew.
Rise to Success
In 1989, Crippa, along with his son Cristiano, founded Technoprobe. The company started in his garage, producing probe cards, which are essential for testing microchips. Crippa retired from STMicroelectronics in 1995 to focus on Technoprobe full-time. Technoprobe expanded, opening offices in France, Singapore, and the United States. In February 2022, Technoprobe went public on the Euronext Milan stock exchange.
Key Business Strategies
Crippa focused on technological advancement and global expansion. Technoprobe developed proprietary technologies, such as TPEG™ MEMS. The company built partnerships with major microelectronics companies. Technoprobe's commitment to quality helped it become a leader in the probe card market. The company's success is a testament to Crippa's vision and hard work.
Philanthropy
Giuseppe Crippa and his family actively participate in social and charitable initiatives, including the Mariarosa and Giuseppe Crippa Foundation, established in May 2023. The Foundation focuses on education, vocational training, and social inclusion.
