In
response to an increased customer demand in Korea, Tower Semiconductor
and its U.S. subsidiary Jazz Semiconductor have decided to appoint a
country manager to increase the companies’ presence in Korea. Michael
Song has stepped into the role of Korea Country Manager to create a
strong business presence in the area, and will oversee areas of
business such as power management, analog/mixed-signal, image sensor
and RF applications.
Tower and Jazz currently serve several IDMs and fabless companies in Korea, and this move is in anticipation of an expected growth of 10% in the power management market, according to iSuppli. The companies have also decided to hire Michael Yoon as Technical Sales Manager, who will look after providing local technical customer support.
