Micron Technology Inc. deepened its business relationship with United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), providing Micron opportunities to secure supply for automotive, mobile, and customers into the future.

“Expanding our relationship with UMC helps us strengthen our customers’ supply chains and is a great opportunity to increase collaboration across the semiconductor industry,” Executive Vice President Manish Bhatia said.

“This expanded relationship provides Micron continuing access to products that are critical to our automotive and mobile customers, and we look forward to working with UMC in the coming years to deliver our industry-leading memory and storage solutions to our customers globally.”

Safeguarding of the global supply chain assumed immense importance following a widespread disruption by the pandemic and chip crisis.
