    The US company trying to takeover Kiwi tech firm Rakon plans to keep its presence here


    California-based electronics manufacturer Bourns has made an offer for the Auckland-based manufacturer of highprecision microchips and frequency-control components.

    The bid's worth 356 million dollars.

    Rakon independent director Chris Swasbrook says Bourns has indicated it would keep Rakon's New Zealand operations in New Zealand.
