Ultra-low power RF specialist Nordic Semiconductor ASA will be setting up a regional supply chain headquarters in Manila, the Philippines. This will later be expanded to include a regional RF test-engineering group to support local backend test development and subcontract partners in Asia.

"As our ultra-low power (ULP) 2.4GHz transceiver production volumes rise we recognize a need to further tighten communication links with our supply chain in Asia by creating a more local organizational 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 miles of a Manila facility of Nordic's long-term test subcontractor, Amkor Technology, where Nordic's 2.4GHz 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. Organizationally, 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.

Nordic is now looking to recruit two supply chain and production professionals locally in Manila. Nordic will also shortly be seeking to recruit several test engineers when it establishes its new RF test group
