EUGENE
Positioning the facility to make the flash memory that powers
iPods and digital cameras, Hynix Semiconductor announced plans
for a $250 million upgrade to its Eugene plant, the South
Korean company’s only U.S. site. Hynix officials made the
move instead of expanding in China or Korea in part because of
a personal visit from Gov. Ted Kulongoski to the
company’s Korean headquarters. Hynix plans to add 100
employees as part of the overhaul.
