Unimicron, ECS to Collaborate on PCB Plant? Print E-mail
Written by Philip Buonpastore   
Tuesday, 29 April 2008
HUNAN, CHINA - Industry sources report that Unimicron Technology has plans to  partner with Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) to build a notebook PCB plant in China.

Unimicron chairman Tze-Chang Tzeng had previously indicated that the company and a customer would build a new plant in Hunan, stating that a PCB plant with a capacity of one million square feet would be built within 2 to 3 years. The plant will reportedly manufacture PCBs and HDI boards, according to industry sources.

Unimicron's move is said to be an effort to compete against rivals Gold Circuit Electronics (GCE) and Hannstar Board, which have a combined market share of 60% of the notebook PCB industry.
