Ipads coming to Bac Giang

Taiwan’s Wintek Corporation has doubled its investment in Vietnam to build a manufacturing plant to supply touch screens for Apple’s Ipad and Iphones.

Located in northern Bac Giang province’s Quang Chau Industrial Zone, the facility, which was licenced by Bac Giang Industrial Zone Management Authority in March, will be invested to the tune of $250 million. The Wintek plant, the first of its kind in Vietnam, is scheduled to churn first products in July this year.

The firm is one of the only two manufacturers in the world to make touch screens for Ipad products. Previously, Wintek signed a land leasing contract with the Saigon Bac Giang Industrial Zone Joint Stock Company, the developer of Quang Chau Industrial Zone, to lease 60 hectares for its plant. – VIR
