Catalyst Semiconductor has opened its first international product development centre by incorporating Catalyst Semiconductor Romania (CSR) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Catalyst Semiconductor. Initially, CSR will focus on design, characterisation and test development for some of Catalyst's memory and mixed-mode products and will soon take on additional responsibilities such as developing product applications and providing technical customer support for the European market.
CSR has leased 600m2 of space in a new office building in Bucharest where operations are expected to start this month, as soon as all the required equipment has been installed.
"By setting up this subsidiary we are executing on our growth strategy and leveraging lower cost engineering talent available in other parts of the world.
This new engineering centre will enhance our product development capability and help us introduce new products faster.
