attractive-things scotland people
One of the attractive things about being in Scotland is that we have a very good pipeline of new people coming into the company from the excellent universities around us.
years design lasts
We opened a design center in the South of England last year as part of our strategy for being close to our customers and developing innovative products for exciting new markets.
painting materials knows
Anything is good painting material once you get to know it.
certainty evidence deals
Science deals in evidence and uncertainty. Religion deals in certainty without evidence.
color trying lines
The painter doesn't try to reproduce the scene before him... he simplifies and eliminates until he knows exactly what stirred him, sets this down in color and line as simply and as powerfully as possible and so translates his impression into an aesthetic emotion.
powerful white paper
Watercolour could have been used more by the modernists. It is so direct, and when the white paper convention is accepted, so powerful, even brutal, that it would seem an ideal medium.
japan important digital
Clearly, Japan is a most important market for digital consumer products.
thinking names fundamentals
Well, I think first of all, probably the most fundamental thing is that we are a mixed-signal analog semiconductor company, which, along with some of the other well-known names in the industry, enjoys very good economics.
believe skills technique
We believe we've got the skill base and the techniques to supply the chips that really enable the end manufacturers to develop exciting, innovative products themselves.
years numbers company
We have been a fabless semiconductor company for a number of years now.
technology use growing
But, when we started our product portfolio, we focused the mixed signal requirements first for image processing devices and then in audio applications , targeting our technology into the growing use of digital technology in consumer markets.
electronics requirements batteries
We see portability in electronics being a continuing requirement, higher functionality, better battery life, requiring lower power for the actual electronics.
moving-on skills scotland
We are also fortunate in being in quite a sheltered environment, in terms of people moving on to do other things, because there are relatively few companies in Scotland that are looking for the skill set that we've developed.
across enhance indeed main portfolio products quite range supplies wide
There is a wide range of opportunities for us and we see a main part of our strategy as being a company that supplies products across a range of different end applications and indeed we have quite a wide product portfolio which we enhance each year.
