A Fife semiconductor manufacturer is expanding through a £12 million investment that will upgrade equipment, support skilled jobs and provide new training for production staff and apprentices.
Clas-SiC Wafer Fab in Lochgelly is receiving a £1.9 million Scottish Enterprise capital as part of the wider investment.
The company manufactures silicon carbide power semiconductors, components used in electric vehicles, renewable-energy systems and other applications where efficient power conversion matters.
It is highly specialised manufacturing, but the local is easier to picture: expensive new equipment staying in Fife, existing skills being protected and apprentices getting a route into a growing technology sector.
