Semiconductor Manufacturing International's Comment on Sales, Marketing and Customers
We have customer service and marketing offices located in the United States, Europe,
Japan, mainland China and Taiwan and a representative office in Hong Kong. Our
mainland China offices serve mainland China, Hong Kong and other non-Japan, non-Taiwan
Asian markets, our U.S. office serves the North American market, our Taiwan office
serves the Taiwan market and our Europe and Japan offices serve the European and
Japanese markets, respectively. We also sell some products through sales agents
in selected markets.
Some of our competitors have established operations in mainland China in order
to compete for the growing domestic market in China. TSMC has its own fab in
Shanghai and currently builds a wholly-owned 12-inch wafer manufacturing facility
and a design service center in Nanjing. UMC has its majority-owned 8-inch fab
in Suzhou and has a 12-inch joint venture fab in Xiamen. In these cases, we
understand that the ability of these fabs to manufacture wafers using certain
more advanced technologies is subject to restrictions by the respective home
jurisdiction of TSMC and UMC; however, such restrictions could be reduced or
lifted at any time, which may lead to increased competition in China with such
competitors and adversely affect our business and operating results.
