The plant will be an assembly and test facility to manufacture a range of logic, discrete and analog products. The new factory will produce products for both the local China market and for export to the rest of Asia, Europe and the Americas and is a vital part of the company's global strategy. This is the first factory completely constructed by Fairchild, which is headquartered in this city, since becoming an independent entity nearly five years ago.

According to a released statement, "China is the cornerstone of Fairchild's expansion plans for Asia" and the company expects to more than double sales in China within two years.To achieve this level of growth, the company plans on expanding alliances with key design houses; increasing market penetration in the key high-growth market sectors; realigning product line resources to focus on China; and launching leading edge products for target segments.
