Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) plans to invest a total of almost NT$100 billion (US$3.2 billion) in its manufacturing site in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan, over the next four to five years, the Chinese-language Commercial Times quoted company chairman Jason Chang as saying in a recent report.
ASE's further investment in Kaohsiung is expected to create 10,000 jobs locally, the paper cited Chang as saying.
ASE has issued a company filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) indicating that Chang's remark about ASE's further investment in Kaohsiung is based on his own expectation, rather than ASE's capex projections.
In other news, ASE has reported record consolidated revenues of NT$76.65 billion for 2014. The company will disclose other financial results for the year at an upcoming investors meeting on February 6.
