Mentor Graphics Aims At Lasting Development in China
BEIJING (May 29) XINHUA - Mentor Graphics Co., a major supplier of electronic design automation (EDA) facilities in US, announced today that it will further enhance its development in China through expanding the technological cooperation with local partners.
Wally Rhines, president of the Oregon-headquartered company, said that the business of Mentor Graphics is expected to maintain a two-digit increase on the Chinese market, which had on an annual growth of 30 percent over the past few years.
Wally said that from this year, the company will invite its Chinese partner to join in the EDA design, and will establish a technical training center here, so as to expedite the transfer of the latest technical achievements to China.
These cooperative projects could absorb millions of US dollars, the president noted.
Local industrial analysts said that the ambitious cooperation program of Mentor Graphics signals the company's transformation from a mere supplier of EDA products to a long-term partner in the country's booming electronics industry.
To survive the increasingly rigorous competition with foreign and local suppliers, only the role of a long-term partner can guarantee the company with a stable market share in the Chinese market, which ranks the most rapidly growing in the world, they said.
Entering China in 1989, Mentor Graphics now has nearly 200 customers in China, with its products widely used in the fields of telecommunications, computers, aviation, ship building, and semiconductors.
The company has founded training bases in Capital Steel and Iron Corporation and Fudan University, and launched representative offices in Shanghai, Nanjing, Chengdu, and Xi'an.
