No. Vitesse is a "fabless" company, which means that it does not own or operate foundries for wafer and die fabrications or device assembly. Instead, it outsources the wafer fabrication and assembly of its semiconductor products to independent, third-party contractors. Vitesse does, however, conduct final test of products in-house.
Vitesse's headquarters office is located at 741 Calle Plano, Camarillo, California. Its telephone number at this location is 805-388-3700. Vitesse's web site is http://www.vitesse.com.
