Amkor & Fujitsu End Talks on Factory Outsourcing Venture
"We were looking forward to partnering with Fujitsu on this outsourcing venture and are disappointed that we could not reach agreement," said John Boruch, Amkor's president and chief operating officer. "After extensive negotiations, and taking into account various factors including economic aspects and industry environment, both companies concluded that the transaction proposed by the MOU was not feasible. While this venture would have presented Amkor with a desirable revenue stream from a world-class customer, we nonetheless believe it is in Amkor's best interest to focus our resources on other business opportunities," said Boruch.
