Fujitsu to Consolidate Its Japan-Based Semiconductor Assembly and Testing Operations
Tokyo, August 27, 2003 -- Fujitsu Limited today announced that it will consolidate its four semiconductor back-end assembly and testing subsidiaries in Japan into one newly-established company with four facilities. The new company, Fujitsu Integrated Microtechnology Limited, will focus on the back-end assembly and testing of logic chips, integrating the unique product lines and technological strengths of each of the four units into one highly competitive organization with improved efficiencies.
Under this reorganization, Fujitsu Tohoku Electronics Limited will be the surviving corporate entity under a new name, into which will be consolidated Fujitsu Miyagi Electronics Limited, Kyushu Fujitsu Electronics Limited, and the manufacturing operations in Gifu Prefecture of Fujitsu VLSI Limited, creating one integrated company focused on back-end fabrication.
Using Fujitsu's highly advanced chip package technology as a base, the new company will offer a variety of assembly and testing services, extending from high-end chip packages for servers and networking equipment, to commodity and multi-chip packages for digital audio-video equipment, mobile phones, and in-car systems.
Through higher efficiencies in R&D and production, improved cost competitiveness, and enhanced services, Fujitsu's goal in this reorganization of its back-end fabrication is to deliver optimal chip package solutions to its customers.
