ROODMICROTEC N.V. Zwolle, 24 August 2015
RoodMicrotec N.V. has concluded a major collaboration agreement with one of Europe's leading and most successful fabless companies (design houses). This design house develops many high-grade microchips every year. Due to its growth, the design house felt a need to select a specialist supplier who could support it in manufacturing high-grade microchips (high-reliability chips) and in its growth process. RoodMicrotec's experience, knowledge and infrastructure, including its equipment, proved to be a perfect match to the design house's needs.
Depending on the product (the chip), RoodMicrotec will provide both individual services and back-end manufacturing services.
With this agreement RoodMicrotec has gained a new customer relationship with one of the leading fabless companies including a new order, and is preparing for a second new order for this customer.
'With an average growth rate of 15 to 25% per year, fabless companies (design houses) are steadily gaining in importance in the semiconductor industry. RoodMicrotec is highly pleased with this expansion of its customer base with a leading European design house. RoodMicrotec is convinced that its excellent infrastructure will attract further fabless companies, and that this will contribute to our growth in this market segment', said Philip Nijenhuis, RoodMicrotec CEO.
