Company Overview<\/h2>\n

In the 1950’s the Italian company, SGS, was working GE transistor technology, but in 1960 SGS developed a strategic relationship with Fairchild creating Fairchild-SGS. Under the Fairchild relationship SGS developed skills, production capabilities, and research and development facilities. Fairchild benefited by this beachhead in the European market.<\/p>\n

In 1968, Fairchild withdrew from the relationship. SGS did not do well financially and by 1971 the Italian government decided to merge SGS with Ates, a subsidiary of the Italian telecommunications company Stet.<\/p>\n

SGS and Fairchild-SGS developed transistor and logic chips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
