Since the U. S. While Taiwanese chip companies Phison have faced demands from visitors to diversify their production sites and R operations.

It’s even harder to build one outside of Taiwan, which has spent forty-five years developing a comprehensive chip ecosystem and chain of sources rarely seen anywhere else in the world, he said.

A chronic skills shortage in Taiwan is another thing that led Phison to offshoring. While top-tech corporations in Taiwan struggle to recruit qualified engineers, Phison has tried to fill the overseas skills gap, Pua said.
“The one of the R centers
Last year, Phison had 2891 R engineers.
When asked about the NAND industry outlook, Pua said chip design corporations are facing a bumpy road, but added that market demand is expected to recover in the current part of this year, after a six- to nine-month pause due to macroeconomic uncertainty and stock market correction.
Demand has recovered at a faster rate in recent times, as NAND flash memory chips are much more affordable, he said.
Phison will not stick to the footsteps of U. S. companies or eliminate jobs, the company expects a decline in profits and profits this year, Pua said, adding that it will raise wages and pay bonuses as before this year.
Phison’s profit last year fell 39% to NT$5170 million (US$169. 8 million) from NT$8430 million in 2021, with profits consistent with a consistent percentage falling to NT$27. 71 from NT$41. 34.
The company attributed the drop to losses at its Chinese subsidiary due to weak convening and logistical disruptions amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
