History.
The company was founded in 1996 at premises of a former "Proton" plant affiliated with the Ministry of Electronic Industry of the USSR. The purchased facilities and equipment were intended for clean technologies enabling to launch production of power semiconductors, however almost all assembly lines and manufacturing processes, as well as manufacturing processes and routes had to be researched and launched all over again. Designs and technologies were developed jointly with specialists of the in Moscow.
