TAIPEI, TAIWAN -- Gold Circuit Electronics (GCE) YoY sales decline in July due to weaker-than-expected sales of notebook-use PCBs. The company noted that bookings from notebook, handset and MP3 player customers are stronger for August and that sales for the first half of 2008 were ahead of 2007 YoY.

GCE said its Jiangyin, China plant is running at full capacity. GCE is increasing its focus on the low-cost notebook segment with plans to expand capacity at its Changshu, China site to 1.4 million square feet per month by the end of this year.
