1995 Manufacturing leaders cash in their chips

Article Abstract:

Electrical and electronic equipment topped the list of global industrial activity in 1995 with 498 new or expanded facilities. It was followed closely by machinery, except electrical, with 495, and transportation equipment with 411 manufacturing projects. The growth in electrical and electronic equipment facilities support the intensive capital investment in the semiconductor industry, which reached $55 million in 1995 from 1994's $34 million. Industry analysts attribute the improvement to global economic growth, even in the world's poorest countries.
