Handset PCB makers optimistic about 2008 Print E-mail
Written by Philip Buonpastore   
Wednesday, 26 December 2007

Taiwan - Handset PCB manufacturers are optimistic about demand in the first half of 2008, although still uncertain when Motorola orders will pick up, according to industry sources.

Uncertainty has not stopped PCB manufacturers from predicting that demand from US clients will increase in the first half of 2008 as opposed to 2007, the sources said, reporting that in addition to Motorola, vendors such as Sony Ericsson and HTC are expected to increase their orders in the first quarter of 2008.

Despite lower orders from Motorola, other clients have increased orders for PCBs in second half of 2007, with Unimicron Technology, Compeq Manufacturing and Unitech PCB seeing sales hit company records in the fourth quarter.
