Hyundai plans U.K. wafer plant

Article Abstract:

The Hyundai Group, which is the world's second biggest producer of memory chips, plans to invest in a wafer fabrication factory in Scotland by late 1998 despite the current glut in chips and the subsequent drastic drop in prices. The new plant will make dynamic random access memory chips, which are the most popular chips among personal computer manufacturers. The investment is intended as a long-run effort to catch up with the Samsung Group, which is the world's top producer.
