That article made it sound like KLA was not in the wafer inspection business before the merger:

"KLA makes products that monitor the chipmaking process and are used to find defects and improve yields. Also known as wafer inspection systems, these products account for more than 50% of sales, and are essential to the chipmaking process. (KLA acquired this all-important technology when it bought rival Tencor last year.)"

While KLA certainly acquired technology in the deal, prior to that they were known for making the Cadillacs of the wafer inspection business.
