Aplus Flash Technology celebrates One-Year Anniversary of Operations in Shanghai


Shanghai, China, March 3, 2004 - Aplus Flash Technology recently celebrated its one-year anniversary of operations in Shanghai by holding a press conference and luncheon at the Riverfront Business Hotel in the Zhang Jiang High Tech district of Pudong, Shanghai. Over 30 guests from the semiconductors industry and 12 radio and print media were in attendance.

The news conference highlighted three of Aplus' major achievements in 2003. One, becoming one of the three IP partners names by SMIC, a leading, advanced pure-play foundry in China, alongside world renowned such as ARM and Mosys, who are No.1 and No.10 in worldwide IP revenue standings. The second milestone was the availability of Aplus' 0.35um EEPROM IP at SMIC for volume production in a wide density and Vdd offering. Aplus' EEPROM is most suitable for smart cards and SIM card applications, both of which are fast-growing technologies that are being more rapidly adopted globally. Lastly, Aplus has established a strategic partnership with a leading Chinese foundry to develop a revolutionary 0.18um and 0.13um Flash and EEPROM technology for embedded and stand-alone applications. Peter Lee, CEO, and Dr. Han-Rei Ma, Aplus' VP of Business Development and General Manager of the Shanghai office, led the presentation.

Aplus' Shanghai office was established last year on March 3, 2003. Since its inception, the office has grown from a small 3-person liaison branch to a fully operating branch of over 10 people, supporting production, marketing and engineering functions.

Among the list of attendees were distiguished customers, partners and guests from companies such as SMIC, Fudan Mircroelectronics, Haire, IPCore, Hopefind, Tide, Mighty-Tek, et al. The celebratory luncheon concluded at 2pm.
