ntel Corporation announced plans to invest more than $5 billion to build a new chip manufacturing
facility at its site in Chandler, Ariz. The announce- ment was made by Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini during a visit by President Barack Obama at an Intel facility in Hillsboro, Ore. The new Arizona factory, designated Fab 42, will be the most advan- ced, high-volume semiconductor manufacturing facility in the world. Construction of the new fab is expected to begin in the middle of this year and is expected to be completed in 2013.
“The investment positions our manufacturing net- work for future growth,” said Brian Krzanich, senior vice president and general manager, Manufacturing and Supply Chain. “This fab will begin operations on a process that will allow us to create transistors with a minimum feature size of 14nm. For Intel, manufactu- ring serves as the underpinning for our business and allows us to provide customers and consumers with leading-edge products in high volume. The unmat- ched scope and scale of our investments in manuf- acturing help Intel maintain industry leadership and drives innovation.”

tN Nanovation AG (FSE:I7N), Germany, a portfolio company of Nanostart AG (OTCQX:NASRY), has
successfully completed another major project in Sau- di Arabia for its CFM Systems®
nanoceramic-based
filtration system for water purification. In addition to the incremental revenue impact of roughly EUR0.8
million, the project is of great significance because it demonstrates how the company’s unique flat filter membrane technology has proven itself in day-to-day operation in terms of both economic and technical superiority. Results have surpassed the customer’s already high expectations. The CFM Systems®
filter
units are used to pretreat water from deep wells so that it can be subsequently purified into clean drin- king water using a reverse osmosis process.
