Pete Hutton, Executive Chairman of Agile Analog announced that the company has responded to surging demand from chip manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region by establishing its first regional sales and engineering support operation, based in Taipei, Taiwan.
Mr. Hutton stated that the new Asia-Pacific sales and engineering support team will enable AgileAnalog to provide a more immediate response to requests from its Asian customers and prospects. It will also intensify the collaboration between Agile Analog and its foundry partners in the region.
The Asia Pacific region’s sales team includes technical support provided by a field applications engineer based in Taiwan, and is set to expand in 2022 to include additional sales and engineering staff.
As well as setting up a direct sales operation to serve customers in Asia, Agile Analog has also signed franchise agreements with distributors in the region: Shanghai Lomicro Information Technology and Ryoden.
Lisa Yang, the lead of Agile Analog APAC who heads up the new operation, said: “Wherever in the world chip design is taking place, most of the fabrication takes place at foundries in Asia. Agile Analog sales and engineering staff on the ground in the region will maintain and strengthen our relationships with these foundries, while helping the many chip companies and design houses in the region to take advantage of Agile Analog’s unique configurable IP, which can be optimised for any foundry, node and application.”
