Advanced Semiconductor to buy 2 Asian Motorola plants
Article Abstract:
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc.(ASE) has announced its intention to purchase two computer-chip plants owned by Motorola Inc. The cash-rich Taiwanese firm, which holds the distinction of being the second-largest independent semiconductor assembler in the world, made the announcement on Feb 5, 1999. The purchase will give ASE two ultra-modern plants, one in Korea and the other in Taiwan, both of which have guaranteed built-in orders from Motorola, which also benefits from the deal as it allows the US company to meet its outsourcing targets.
