will continue to support, focus and invest in this market to grow the
FPC business. With this partnership, we will be able to offer our
customers a more complete range of products and innovations.”

SY Kim, President of Serial Microelectronic Korea Ltd., says, “I am
delighted to add FPC to our list of distributorships. This is a
testament to our strong brand name in the market. I look forward to a
