From Norway to the Philippines
Nordic Semiconductor is relocating its supply chain headquarters to the Philippines.
The move is a wholesale move of the company’s supply chain headquarters from Norway to Asia.
The company intends to later expand the headquarters to include a regional RF test-engineering group to support local back-end test development and subcontract partners in Asia.
“As our ultra-low power (ULP) 2.4 GHz transceiver production volumes rise, we recognise a need to further tighten communication links with our supply chain in Asia by creating a more local organisational structure,” says Ole-Fredrik Morken, the supply chain manager at Nordic who is in charge of the relocation.
The new operation will be located within just a few kilometres of a Manila facility of Nordic’s long-term test subcontractor Amkor Technology, where Nordic’s ULP transceivers are tested on a base of permanently installed, Nordic-owned test systems.
With the completion of this relocation, Nordic will now have its entire manufacturing and supply chain operations based in Asia, bar only a few legacy products being produced in Europe.
Organisationally, however, everything else is to remain headquartered in Norway, including Nordic’s global sales and marketing headquarters in Oslo and its global R&D and registered company headquarters in Trondheim.
