Singapore
Electroglas, maker of high-tech equipment, is relocating its wafer-prober manufacturing operations from San Jose, Calif., to Singapore. Wafer probers, used in silicon wafer manufacturing for computer chips, are slated to be produced at the Singapore plant beginning in mid-2002; all released probers will reach full production by mid-2003. Corvallis, Ore., manufacturing operations of Electroglas' Inspection Products Division will be unaffected by the relocation, with corporate headquarters including sales, marketing, finance, product design, engineering, corporate administration, and some manufacturing for new products introduction activities to remain in San Jose.
