SiGe plans to expand in Asia
SiGe Semiconductor of Ottawa, Canada has revealed plans to expand in Asia by relocating its Hong Kong operations to the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP), a US$1.5 billion project occupying an area of 22 hectares.
The move is in line with SiGe's strategy to deliver its technology in conjunction with consolidated application design support.
SiGe's HKSTP facility will occupy 7522 sq ft, an area three times that of its previous location. It will encompass design, applications, operations sales and customer support functions, including expanded engineering and applications lab facilities to keep pace with the increased demand for the firm's portfolio of products.
SiGe provides RFICs and multi-chip modules.
The move is expected to enhance SiGe's local R&D capabilities and support its local sales and operations functions.
"HKSTP provides an ideal location for our design team to meet our customers' needs," says CEO Sohail Khan. "The high-quality infrastructure and support facilities provided by HKSTP will improve our working environment, and in turn we hope that this will result directly in efficiency gains."
The strong link with local universities and applied research institutes should provide recruitment opportunities for local engineers to join SiGe.
