Frost & Sullivan Lauds Atmel for Exceptional Growth Strategy Leadership in the World Smart Card IC Market

San Jose, California, November 8 (ots/PRNewswire)

Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), a global leader in the
development and fabrication of advanced semiconductor solutions,
together with Frost & Sullivan, a global leader in growth consulting,
are proud to announce that Atmel has been presented with the
prestigious Frost & Sullivan award for Global Growth Strategy
Leadership in recognition of its outstanding performance in the world
Smart Card IC market throughout 2005.
The Growth Strategy Leadership award is aimed at companies whose
performances excel compared to that of their competition in a
maturing market and who generated a high level of market penetration
due to their superior quality of service. The Frost & Sullivan award
for Growth Strategy Leadership is presented each year to the company
that has demonstrated an exceptional growth strategy within the
industry.
Founded in 1984, Atmel has taken significant steps in the Smart
Card IC market, especially in the microcontroller market where Atmel
is ranked second in market share. An expanding portfolio, both
products and applications, as well as a growing presence in the
banking market further underline Atmel's receipt of this award.
"This has led to the company gaining a healthier market share in
the banking segment," states Frost and Sullivan's Smart Card Global
Program Manager, Anoop Ubhey. "The company has achieved the
qualification and specifications that were missing in 2004 and has
managed to increase its perceived expertise in the security area, a
segment where Atmel can expect to see further growth in the short to
medium term."
"To receive such a prestigious award from Frost & Sullivan is
something that Atmel can be extremely proud of, given that we are
competing with other global semiconductor companies. It is gratifying
to see the results of a strategy, put in place several years ago,
continuing to lead us in the right direction for achieving a strong
leadership position in the Smart Card and security markets. The
market analysis performed by Frost & Sullivan provides an independent
validation and helps measure the success of implementing such
strategies," commented Christian Fleutelot, Marketing Director for
Atmel's Secure Products Division.
