MANILA – Texas Instruments will invest $1 billion over 10 years on an assembly/test site in the Philippines that aims to be the most environmentally efficient in the world. At 77,000 sq. meters, the site within the Clark Freeport Zone is expected to eventually employ about 3,000 workers and will double the capacity that TI has in the Philippines.
The site will incorporate many of the environmental and energy design features first used in the U.S. at TI’s newest semiconductor facility. Reducing water, energy and waste will be given priority consideration, and it will be the first ground-up facility to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) registered in the Philippines.
Construction is expected to start in the second half of 2007, with initial production in the second half of 2008.
TI first entered the Philippines in 1979 in Baguio City. It conducts final assembly and testing of semiconductors for customers in the computer, aerospace, telecommunications, and automotive industries in the United States, Asia, and Europe.

ELKHART, IN – CTS Corp. reported fourth-quarter net earnings rose 2.7% to $7.7 million on a 1% hike in revenues to $173.5 million.
Revenues were boosted by a 17% increase in EMS sales to the defense/aerospace, medical and communications markets, the company said. Components and Sensors sales increased 5%, primarily for automotive products. Sales were partially offset by weakness in electronic component demand and lower component sales for handset applications, CTS reported.
