AMI Semiconductor
Extracted from the Wikipedia article American Microsystems.
In the early 1970s, AMI held about 50% of the US MOS IC marketshare. Borg-Warner took an equity stake in 1977, but AMI was then purchased outright by Gould Electronics in 1982. Gould was in turn purchased by Japan Energy in 1988, who ran the AMI division under its GA-Tech division. AMI was purchased from GA-Tech by Francisco Partners in 2000, and they renamed it AMI Semiconductor, or AMIS, in January 2001. AMIS was in turn purchased by onsemi in March 2008, and no longer operates as a separate company.
