Flextronics aims to become a full-fledged notebook maker

They are one of East Asia’s biggest computer manufacturers

Flextronics International of Taiwan aims to become one of the top three notebook makers worldwide, says Sean Burke, president of Flextronics Computing and Peter Chu, general manager of Flextronics' global notebook sales department to Digitimes.

They are already one of the biggest manufacturers in the other part of the world, having a plant in China with a monthly capacity around 600,000-700,000 units, and more in cards. The new site is expected to expand the company's total notebook capacity per month by about 300,000-350,000 units at the end of December 2009, reaching 1.1 million units a month by year-end 2010 – also reported by Digitimes. On top of that the company is expecting new orders in 2010.

There are a few factors that Flextronics believes will help them, as told to Digitimes. Vendors are now looking at dividing their risk, adopting more regionalization in releasing the notebooks, and trying to assemble the parts locally for logistic easiness. They believe their stronger logistic quotient will help along in achieving this target.
