(Taipei News) The board of directors of Winbond Electronics Corp. today (29th) approved the plan that Winbond will spend about seven hundred millions NTD to get an approximately 1500 'ping commercial land close to the High-Speed Rail ChuPei Station. In the future, Winbond plans to spend another seven hundred millions NTD to build its own R&D building on that piece of property.
Winbond expressed the consideration of this project is that in the future the traffic hour from Taipei to Hsinchu or from Taichung to Hsinchu will only take half hour by Taiwan High-Speed Rail, and even one way from South of Taiwan to Hsinchu merely takes about one hour. Therefore, employees will be able to enjoy the convenience of life cycle in Taipei City and the wide and sunshiny natural life style in Mid or South of Taiwan. The one day life cycle that will be changed by High-Speed Rail will improve TaiwanĄŚs quality of living standard dramatically.
Winbond's R&D building that can contain about 1000 employees will be located only 5 minutes walking distance to the High-Speed Rail Station. In the future, the CompanyĄŚs employees could ride the High-Speed Rail to work. For the employees, it is not only the traffic hour can be shortened, but also the both working and living quality can be improved.
Winbond expects to grow up as an IC company with its own brand and has been emphasized on employeesĄŚ trainings and benefits for a long time. After years of cultivating, Winbond has strong R&D capability and excellence performance on product R&D and design. Among all the products, the logic product focuses on two fields, Łgc-based consumer product and computer logic product. The I/O controller of notebook and desktop and the Speech IC both are well known in the market. Memory product focuses on Mobile RAM and low density NOR Flash.
Once this R&D building opens in the future, it is anticipated that people in this industry will pay more attention on R&D and the effect of gathering around HsinChu. More high tech talents will be attracted to live in the HsinChu Science Park neighborhood and will help the blooming and development of HsinChu suburbs.
