Quanta Computer is planning to more than double its production in Shanghai this year, that makes China as the world's largest manufacturing base for notebook computers.
Quanta, the world's largest notebook-computer maker, is on course to produce about 10 million notebooks this year, of which 75 percent will be made in China, executive vice president Michael Wang said. Quanta is increasing output from China after completing a plant in Shanghai's Songjiang Industry Park, where labor, electricity, tax and government fees account for only 5 percent of total costs.
Quanta's top two clients are Hewlett-Packard and Dell. Quanta will be shipping notebooks this year from its Songjiang factory directly to end-users in the United States and Europe, reducing inventory costs for clients. Dell, the world's second-biggest personal computer vendor, last week slashed prices on some products by as much as 22 percent recently.
Quanta also planning to open its first American service center in Nashville, Tennessee, this year, Wang said.
