In its operational model, AMCC adopts a "factory-free" approach, outsourcing production processes to leading semiconductor manufacturers worldwide. This strategy allows the company to respond flexibly to market changes while minimizing operating costs. AMCC's customer base spans the globe, encompassing several renowned telecommunications equipment manufacturers and network equipment suppliers. Despite its acquisition by MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc., a leader in high-performance RF, microwave, millimeter wave, and photonics solutions, in 2016, AMCC continues to be a notable name in the global semiconductor industry. The acquisition has served to further expand MACOM's product portfolio and technological capabilities in high growth markets.
