Infineon to double workforce

BANGALORE: Infineon Technologies India Pvt. Ltd. planned to double its headcount in its Bangalore centre to about 400 this year, a top company executive said on Tuesday. The Bangalore centre's core activities relate to software development for wireless technologies, protocols, signal processing, security applications, broadband modem and industrial process automation, among others. Infineon Technologies was working with two or three partners in the country, its Managing Director, Thomas Simonis, told reporters here but declined to name them.

The company was interested in long-term partnership and assessing the potential partners, he said. Eighty per cent of the existing 200 employees were working on software development, 15 per cent on tools and five per cent on hardware, he said. The Munich-headquartered Infineon Technologies AG is the world's sixth largest semiconductor manufacturer with revenues of euro 6.15 billion during 2002 fiscal ended September.
