Inventec Is Added To The Fujitsu Siemens List Of Suppliers
Quanta Removed From Supplier List
Inventec overtook the place of Quanta Computer and Mitac Technology in the list of the suppliers for Fujitsu Siemens. The sources indicate that Mitac Technology and Quanta Computers will no longer manufacture notebooks for the vendor.
Instead, Fujitsu has added Inventec to their list of suppliers which also include: Uniwill, Wistron and First International Computer. All of this will take place in the year 2007.
Fujitsu has not made public how the order will break down in 2007 among Uniwill, Wistron, Fujitsu and Inventec according to sources.
An article published in May cited that industry sources reported that Mitac would be removed from the list of suppliers of Fujitsu. The article also stated that Mitac would supply for Fujitsu when the demand rises or when, according to the article, there is a special one-lot (blizzard) order.
The article, however, stated that Quanta, unlike Mitac, would be included in the list of suppliers for Fujitsu. Fujitsu’s decision to work with Inventec was the reason why Inventec recently moved to expand capacity in China, the articles reported.
Sources at the vendor’s contract partners state that from an estimated three million units sold this year, Fujitsu aims to ship 3.5 million notebooks worldwide in 2007.
According to IDC (International Data Corporation) in Europe Fujitsu, was the only vender to experience a drop from 460,000 units last January to 400,000 units this January among the top five venders. (Note that these units were sold to people in Europe and it does not include other parts of the world.)
