October 12, 2007 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
BANGALORE, India Cookson Electronics added personnel and equipment to its India Research Center, moving to a 32,000-sq.ft. facility in Bangalore this month. The company, which originally opened its India R&D on the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) campus, will continue its strategic partnership with the school.
The expansion took place over a three-year period, reports Steven Corbett, president and CEO, Cookson Electronics. The R&D facility hosts many Ph.D.s in materials and chemistry, and will target advanced electronics assembly processes and products, added Bawa Singh, Ph.D., VP of technology and CTO, Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials (CEAM). Semiconductor manufacturing and packaging technologies will become a priority at the R&D location, as well as renewable energy sources like solar technologies. Cookson also plans to build up nano-technology-based material lines.
The Bangalore facility, joining R&D locations in the U.S., Japan, and Singapore, was established and developed to support Cookson's Asia growth strategy. The Asia-Pacific region brings in about 60% of the company's assembly materials business, explained Corbett. Cookson also operates a manufacturing facility in Chennai, India.
