PLX Technology’s Ralph Schmitt talks about navigating the recession
San Jose Mercury News
The Sunnyvale company’s so-called interconnect chips essentially serve as electronic bridges and switches enabling information to flow efficiently among a host of other devices in everything from personal computers servers and printers to camcorders digital cameras and TV tuners. But PLX which has about 200 employees and reported about $81 million in revenue last year is undergoing what it views as a critical transformation. Hoping to become a bigger force in the chip industry it arranged in January to buy Milpitas-based xford Semiconductor whose chips provide connections to consumer data-storage devices and it is considering other acquisitions. At the same time it has been trimming its employee ranks and cutting other costs to weather the turbulent economy. To shepherd PLX through this precarious period the company’s board lured longtime chip-industry veteran Ralph Schmitt to take over as president and CE in November.

Neither is there a clubhouse pool or restaurant although there are plans for each. There is however a 42-slip covered pier with lifts and storage and a yacht club commodore. “We have about 12 or 13 members and we’re working on getting some more social functions going” said club commodore Joan Reutter of Manassas. “Most of what we do as a yacht club is keep the docks in good shape and figure out what we want to do in the future. ”Lake Anna “yachts” come in a variety of forms and sizes from Sea-Doo Sportsters and 15-foot bass boats to 30-foot cabin cruisers. The four-member Reutter family which has a waterfront home at Lake Anna keeps its 20-foot pontoon boat in a slip purchased at the pier.
