In a previous publication [1] we considered the structure of a fragmented ring and of its multiplicative semigroup. In the present publication we consider, in a purely semigroup-theoretic context, some ideas related to those in [1]. As shown by an example, the semigroups we consider need not be the multiplicative semigroup of a ring.
