PLX Technology has set up a subsidiary in Taiwan, located in the Neihu District of Taipei.

PLX Technology Taiwan is PLX's third wholly owned subsidiary in the Asia-Pacific region, established to extend the company's presence to Taiwan while providing PLX customers there with locally focused sales, support and applications expertise.

The official opening of PLX Technology Taiwan will take place at the facility on 4th April 2006.

This event will feature a welcoming ceremony and presentation by Michael Salameh, PLX founder, President and Chief Executive Officer.

PLX is well established in the Asia-Pacific region, with subsidiaries in Japan and China, and an extensive roster of customers for its PCI, PCI-X, PCIe and USB interconnect technology.

Those customers span the embedded-systems, industrial-control, security and telecommunications markets.

PLX also is represented by leading distributors in Taiwan: Metatech (AP), Answer Technology and SemiconductorStore.com.

PLX Technology Taiwan is expected to add to PLX's continued growth in the Asia-Pacific region, in which the company's revenues grew to more than $28 million in 2005.

"PLX continues to see robust growth in the worldwide demand for its industry-leading interconnect products, and establishing PLX Technology Taiwan allows us to best serve an important geographic market", said Salameh.

"We are pleased to have an office that is dedicated to our valuable Taiwan customers, and to satisfy their needs for PLX's products, support and service".

The new subsidiary will be lead by Marx Li, Taiwan Country Manager.

Li brings to PLX Technology Taiwan more than 18 years of engineering and sales experience in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

He most recently served as Vice President of Sales at Metatech.

Prior to that position, he held senior management positions with Western Digital, S3 and Leadtek.
