Manocha added that the investment would help the company meet growing customer and technology demand, adding that the investment would be spent on new tools and development at the firm's' new microprocessor-fabrication factory in New York. He also said that the first client of the New York plant was IBM, and that the UAE firm would help IBM in making their new chip, adding that other electronics companies would use the New York plant which managed to attract USD1.2 billion in aid from New York state with the aim of creating job opportunities.
