'an passé, le sous-traitant français Cofidur a réalisé un chiffre d'affaires de 81,7 millions d'euros en baisse de 5% par rapport à 2004. Le résultat net part du groupe est tombé à 0,297 million d'euros, contre 1,923 million en 2004 en partie à cause d'une charge de personnel exceptionnelle de 800 000 euros. Par contre, au 1er trimestre 2006, les ventes de Cofidur ont progressé de 10,8% par rapport à la même période de 2005, à 25,7 millions d'euros. Cette croissance serait en grande partie la résultante de l'activité de Laval dans le secteur aéronautique. En fin d'année dernière, Cofidur a en effet racheté Flextronics Laval et a repris 93 personnes du site. Le sous-traitant y a constitué un pôle dédié à l'aéronautique, au militaire et à l'industriel, pôle fort de 250 personnes.
Le conseil d’administration de COFIDUR, réuni sous la présidence de M. H.TRANDUC
le 20 Avril 2006 a arrêté les comptes consolidés et sociaux de l’exercice clos le 31/12/2005, dont il ressort les éléments suivants:
La société COFIDUR S.A. a réalisé en 2005 un chiffre d'affaires de 2 517 K€ et généré un résultat net de 1 058 K€.

Le Chiffre d’affaires consolidé à 81,7 M€ est en repli de près de 5% par rapport à un exercice 2004 qui avait été particulièrement soutenu. Cette baisse, principalement due à des affaires moins consommatrices en composants achetés, n’a pratiquement pas eu d’incidence sur le résultat opérationnel courant.

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2006--Solectron Corporation (NYSE:SLR), a leading provider of electronics manufacturing and integrated supply chain services, today announced the successful certification for the Solectron Bordeaux plant in France to EN 9100:2003 (equivalent to AS 9100 Rev B) standards.

TH ZVEI professional association electronics Components and of system raised its growth prognosis somewhat. So the German market for electronic elements is to grow in the current year now by 5 per cent. 10. May 2006 12:02 (ZVEI) of: Herbert Hoenle In the next year the speed is to again add, whereby however the Rohstoffpreise could provide for unpleasant surprises. So far the professional association had proceeded from a growth from 4,5 per cent to 18.3 billion euro. For the year 2007 professional association chairman Peter Bauer counts on a further plus of more than 6 per cent. The demand for semiconductors is to add superproportionally. The ZVEI experts count in the current year within the range of the semiconductors on 6 per cent higher conversions, after the year 2005 could exhibit only a moderate growth of scarcely 3 per cent (on 11.6 billion euro). The growth of the data processing technology, the industrial electronics and Kfz electronics is driven. For the coming year with far rising market of the semiconductor components one goes out. Thus an increase in sales is expected by scarcely 9 per cent on 13.4 billion euro.

MUNICH, Germany — Chip Microelectronica SA, a provider of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor circuits in the form of intellectual property, designed a key part of the Livanto mobile communications baseband chip offered to the market by Icera Inc.
The Livanto baseband, which can process HSDPA multimedia signals at up to 7.2-Mbits per second, in fact comprises two die in a single package. While Icera's engineering team designed the digital chip ChipIdea (Lisbon, Portugal) designed the analog baseband chip included in the same package, according to Stan Boland, president and chief executive officer of Icera Inc. (Bristol, England).
Boland named ChipIdea as Icera’s baseband partner during a presentation at a conference organized by the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the Fabless Semiconductor Association here. He also added Renesas Technology Corp. to Infineon Technologies AG as a radio frequency chip partner and said that Icera is working with RF Micro Devices Inc. and Skyworks Solutions Inc. as providers of discrete RF interface components such as power amplifiers and low-noise amplifier.

ZICHRON YAACOV, Israel — Wafer inspection equipment company Negevtech Inc. has received $36 million in a fourth financing round at a company value of $54.5 million. Investors in this round include Intel Capital and Lehman Brothers, Munich-based Wellington Partners and a group of Israeli venture funds.

Founded in 1999, Negevtech (Rehovot, Israel) has produced the 3100 high-resolution wafer defect inspection system that combines Negevtech's Step & Image technology with a high-resolution optical system. The company claims it is also the only system on the market today offering both high resolution brightfield and darkfield capabilities on the same platform. This dual-technology platform enables users to routinely find unique defects and smaller defects missed by competitors' systems, Negevtech claimed.
