Infineon Technologies AG (Germany) celebrated the official opening of a new office in Cary, NC. Since announcing its planned expansion in May, Infineon has doubled its work force in the area, to 150 employees, and is on track to grow up to 400 employees in Cary by 2007. The new location represents a key step in Infineon's commitment to expand its North American presence, and marks the first success of North Carolina's new job development grant program.
"The expansion of our business operations in North Carolina plays a key role in our growth strategy for North America. We get much closer contact to our customers in the Eastern US and create a new link in a worldwide network of offices that can work 24/7 to meet our customers' needs. In addition, we further build up our innovative strength by integrating our memory product design center for the development of next-generation, high-performance memory chips for desktops, laptops and servers," commented Robert LeFort, president of Infineon Technologies North America Corp.
