Singapore Seagate Technology announces a plan to expand its recording media manufacturing capabilities by setting up its third media plant in Singapore. The new plant will be built close to the company’s existing facilities at Woodlands, and the combined operations will supply about 80 percent of Seagate’s total requirement of recording media, a critical component used in the assembly of its disc drives.
The project includes construction, building, and equipment spread over the next four years, and will potentially create 3,000 new jobs when the plant is fully operational and running at maximum production capacity. Manufacturing activities are expected to start by mid-2008.
