広達、売上高初の１兆元突破：タブレット狙い３Ｍと提携

ノートＰＣ受託製造で世界最大手の広達電脳（クォンタ）は、昨年の連結売上高が初めて１兆台湾元（約２兆8,400億円）を突破した。民間企業として鴻海精密工業に続いて２番目の大台到達。今年はタブレット端末市場が本格的に立ち上がるのをにらみ、搭載されるマルチタッチパネルの技術で米３Ｍとこのほど提携、一層の事業拡大につなげる。
パソコン（ＰＣ）需要の世界的な拡大が後押しし、ノートＰＣ受託製造大手４社は、英業達（インベンテック）を除いて増収率が２けたとなった。中でも最大手の広達と２番手の仁宝電脳工業（コンパル）は30％を超える大幅な増収を果たした。
広達の昨年の連結売上高は前年比37.9％増の１兆919億元。同業では増収率が最も高かった。仁宝もそれに次ぐ33.7％増の8,519億元だった。台湾企業として売上高が１兆元を超えたのは広達が２社目。ただし、鴻海の２兆3,000億元強とは大きな開きがある。
広達は2009年に売上高こそ世界首位を維持したが、出荷量では仁宝に抜かれていた。しかし昨年は両社の目標5,000万台に対し、広達が5,210万台と大きく上回った。しかし仁宝は主要顧客である宏碁（エイサー）向けの出荷が鈍って4,820万台と未達に終わった。
受託大手では４社以外に、昨年華碩電脳（ＡＳＵＳ）から経営を完全分離した和碩聯合科技（ペガトロン）やこの分野での事業拡大をもくろむ鴻海も存在感を増している。
一方、広達は、米アップルのiPad（アイパッド）が火をつけたタブレット端末市場にＰＣブランドメーカーが相次いで参入するのに合わせ、同端末が搭載するタッチパネルの技術で３Ｍと具体的な提携に踏み出す。両社は昨年６月の「2010台北国際電脳展覧会」（コンピュテックス台北）でコンシューマ向け製品用タッチパネル技術で提携すると発表していた。

Quanta to build third manufacturing site in China

Quanta Computer has announced it will build a new production base in Chongqing, in addition to its two existing plants located in Songjiang and Changshu, China, according to a filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE). Details regarding the new plant will be disclosed at a later time.
Quanta pointed out that its two existing plants in China are already capable of handling its targeted shipment goal of 50 million notebooks for 2010, and so it is not in a rush to get the new plant up and running.
Sources from notebook players commented that Quanta wants to establish the Chongqing plant in order to better serve its client, Hewlett-Packard (HP). Quanta and Inventec are estimated to manufacture 80% of HP's notebooks in 2010.
The company will face transport obstacles at the Chongqing plant in the short term as the shipments around the region are currently limited to by air, however, the Chongqing local government is schedule to finish building a railroad which will connect the region directly to Europe in 2012.
Most of Quanta's upstream component makers reacted conservatively to the announcement, saying they will not make any moves until Quanta is clear in its actions for the new plant.

対鴻海連合軍、ＡＵＯが結成に走る

液晶パネル最大手、友達光電（ＡＵＯ）の李焜耀董事長が、ノートパソコン受託製造大手、広達電脳（クアンタ・コンピュータ）の林百里董事長、梁次震副董事長と面会し、提携関係の強化を協議したもようだ。鴻海科技集団（フォクスコン）が液晶パネル２位の奇美電子（ＣＭＯ）を買収する衝撃に対抗すべく、ＡＵＯはクアンタのほか、中華映管（ＣＰＴ）の買収を通じて２位株主の仁宝電脳工業（コンパル・エレクトロニクス）とも提携を強化し、「対鴻海連合軍」の結成に動いていると伝えられている。１日付経済日報などが報じた。

鴻海集団傘下のパネルメーカー、群創光電（イノルックス・ディスプレイ）による奇美電の買収により、鴻海集団は川上部品である液晶パネルから、川下のノートＰＣや液晶テレビなどの電子製品まで、すべて大規模な生産能力を備えることになった。一方、ＡＵＯは奇美電を上回るパネル生産能力を持つものの末端製品は生産しない。　このためＡＵＯは、ノートＰＣ受託生産２強との提携強化を進めることでパネルの供給先を確実にし、パネル業界首位の座を死守したい考えとみられる。クアンタとコンパルにとっても、鴻海がノートＰＣ受託生産を強化する中、パネルの供給源確保はより多くのブランドメーカーからの受注獲得、および鴻海への流出防止の上で有益だ。証券アナリストは「ＡＵＯ、クアンタ、コンパルの提携は必然の流れ」と指摘している。
なお、ＡＵＯとクアンタは元来密接な提携関係にあり、クアンタは2006年、傘下のパネルメーカー、広輝電子（クアンタ・ディスプレイ）をＡＵＯに売却している。
コンパルの陳瑞聡総経理は先週、李ＡＵＯ董事長から提携強化の打診を受けたことを明らかにし、ＡＵＯによる中華映管の引き入れ工作かとの観測が出たが、30日は「ＡＵＯが12月４日に中華映管合併を発表する。株式の交換比率はＡＵＯ１株に対し中華映管８株」という情報が市場で流れた。

Sanyo to dissolve TV venture with Quanta

Japanese consumer electronics maker Sanyo Electric Co Ltd plans to dissolve its
television development joint venture with Taiwan's Quanta Computer Inc, the
Nikkei business daily said on Saturday.

Sanyo and Quanta Computer, the world's largest contract notebook PC maker, said
in March 2006 they would set up a venture to make and sell flat TVs.

But shortly after the announcement, Taiwan's AU Optronics Corp agreed to buy
Quanta Computer's liquid crystal display (LCD) unit, Quanta Display, dealing a
blow to their cooperation even before the venture was established.

The two firms set up the TV joint venture, Sanyo Visual Technology, later in
2006 with a capitalization of 100 million yen ($937,300), but the scope of the
venture was limited to product development and joint procurement of parts and
materials.

The Nikkei said the announcement to end the venture, owned 81 percent by Sanyo
and the remainder by Quanta, is set for January 30.

A Sanyo spokesman said the company is studying a wide range of options to
expand its TV business, but nothing has been decided on the future of its joint
venture with Quanta Computer.

Sanyo, which has actively been shedding its non-core assets to focus on
mainstay operations such as rechargeable batteries, said on Monday it would sell
its mobile phone business to electronics maker Kyocera Corp for 40-50 billion
yen.

Quanta lands LCD TV orders from Philips, say sources

Sources recently indicated Quanta Computer has received LCD TV orders from Royal Philips Electronics. Philips now is also looking for other potential partners in LCD TV production, added the sources.

The overall shipments from Quanta to Philips are expected to reach 400,000 units in 2007, said Taiwan-based panel makers.

Quanta declined to comment on the orders.

Quanta president Michael Wang earlier said that the company aims to ship over one million LCD TVs in 2007. The top-five LCD TV vendors are all target customers for Quanta, said Wang.

Last September, TPV Technology, the world's largest LCD monitor maker, officially took over monitor and entry-level LCD TV manufacturing from Philips. Since the transition, TPV has been producing monitors and entry-level LCD TVs for Philips.

Philips plans to ship nine million LCD TVs in 2007, up from more than five million units in 2006, according to research firm DisplaySearch. Philips captured 12.2% of the global LCD TV market in the third quarter, trailing after Samsung Electronics and Sharp, said the research firm.

Quanta eyeing Poland as LCD TV hub

In order to bid for LCD TV orders from first-tier vendors and fulfill its shipment target of over one million units in 2007, Quanta Computer said Poland would be an ideal spot as an LCD TV production base for the company, said company president Michael Wang.

The existing Aachen, Germany LCD TV production base is just a transitional base for Quanta, Wang pointed out. Quanta chose Germany as its LCD TV production base, as initially it was more competitive than Eastern Europe in terms of time to market, tariff, and geography. However, once shipments surpassed one million units from this site, it was inevitable that Quanta would move its production base to Eastern Europe, Wang noted. The Aachen site is currently focused on assembling relatively simple LCD TVs in small volumes, he added.

Poland will be the first priority spot for Quanta, Wang said, considering that leading players like LG.Philips LCD and Sharp both house production facilities there. Turkey, however, is a less likely choice as a production base despite leading TV vendors including Beko and Vestel being located there. He explained that Turkey is too far from Western Europe and the recent currency appreciation may also increase production costs.

While preparing to expand its LCD TV production in Europe, Wang reiterated the company's strengthening partnership with the Pouchen Group in China. He anticipates that TechView, an LCD monitor joint venture between Quanta and Pouchen, will house an annual capacity (both LCD TV and monitor) of about 10 million units in 2007 and serve as a vital OEM partner of Quanta.
