Chandler, AZ, November 5, 2018 — Everspin Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRAM), the world's leading developer and manufacturer of Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM), entered into a multi-year partnership with SilTerra, a world-class semiconductor manufacturing services company located in Kulim, Malaysia, to create additional manufacturing capacity for Toggle MRAM products. This partnership is part of a three-way agreement between Everspin, SilTerra and Bosch Sensortec, a licensee of Everspin’s TMR sensor intellectual property.
Through this partnership, Everspin will augment its production capacity to meet growing demand for its Toggle MRAM products in the industrial, computing, medical, and transportation markets, where fast, reliable, non-volatile memory is critical.

Everspin will continue in parallel to operate its manufacturing line for Toggle MRAM and TMR sensor products in Chandler, AZ. That capacity is operated under a cleanroom lease and manufacturing agreement with NXP.
“Everspin is proud to partner with Bosch Sensortec and SilTerra in taking this strategic step of creating new manufacturing capacity for our products. Continued expansion in the manufacturing capacity for our Toggle MRAM products is a key pillar of our long term growth strategy,” stated Kevin Conley, Everspin’s CEO.
