The new office accommodates a growing engineering staff and expanded technical capabilities demanded by a robust US market. Among its amenities, the new office will host direct conferencing capabilities with the company's Taiwan headquarters to enhance business and technical collaboration.

GUC reports that its North American business continues to grow at a healthy pace. Last year, the North American market contributed 33% to the total 2014 revenue.

"This move represents a significant step forward, one that is strategically necessary to meet the increasingly complex demands or our rapidly-expanding base of ASIC customers," explained Jim Lai, President of GUC.

"The growth in our engineering department is in response to our customers' growing appreciation for what we bring to their core competencies. This move really allows us to take these services to the next level," said Jerry C. Chen, head of the North America office.
