QuickLogic Establishes Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise in China

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 19, 2017 -- QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ:QUIK), an innovator and developer of ultra-low power programmable sensor processing solutions, display bridges, FPGAs, and embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP, established a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) in Shanghai, China to accelerate the company’s expansion in China and other Asian markets. This complements the company’s existing research and development and support center in India and the recently established eFPGA IP support center in Taiwan. 

“By using the WFOE structure for our new Chinese venture we are able to maintain 100% control and ownership of the new enterprise, and through that, optimize the focus on our goals and protection of our IP,” said Brian Faith, president and CEO of QuickLogic Corporation. “With eight of the top ten smartphone companies and a rapidly expanding market for wearable and voice-enabled IoT products, China represents a huge opportunity for QuickLogic. We believe that having a WFOE in Shanghai will enable us to address these opportunities more effectively and accelerate our numerous EOS^TM S3 and eFPGA engagements with major Chinese OEMs.”
