IMAC 2009's April showers suggested a blooming Nepes botanical garden in the near future. And the Nepes Corporation booth did not disappoint, presenting a wide variety of flowers growing in 2009.

Since Nepes Corporation manufactures both materials and components for various semiconductor parts, their internal synergy effect has created a blooming convergence of ideas in the high-end market.
