Sirenza Microdevices Announces Opening of New Facility in Shanghai, China

April 04, 2007

    BROOMFIELD, Colo., April 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
Sirenza Microdevices, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMDI) today announced
that it has officially opened its new 107,000 square foot
facility in Shanghai, China, featuring a high volume RF
components factory in addition to an administrative, sales
and engineering office building. 

    Sirenza now has three multiple-use facilities in China.
In addition to the new facility, the original Sirenza
Shanghai office is headquarters for customer service and
applications support in Asia, and the Sirenza Shenzhen
office provides technical applications support and
currently serves as the Asia regional test laboratory. 

    "Our facilities in China enhance our ability to
provide real-time support to our expanding base of key
customers, subcontractors and suppliers in throughout
greater Asia and, in particular, within China," said
Bob Van Buskirk, Sirenza's president and CEO. "We
believe that moving our U.S.-based commercial manufacturing
to Shanghai will provide a long-term, low-cost manufacturing
capability to support existing and future product lines as
we expand our global operations." 

    The nearby Premier Devices (PDI) factory, supporting
the PDI business segment, has been moved to this new
facility and is now fully operational. The move of SMDI
business segment manufacturing operations to this same
facility is expected to be completed in the second half of
2007. To complete the PDI factory move to the new facility,
a re-certification audit of PDI's ISO 9001-2000 quality
system was performed by a third-party registrar in March.
The audit was successfully completed and the registrar has
re-certified the new PDI factory operation under the ISO
9001-2000 global quality standard.
