Foxconn to manufacture two million notebooks for Asustek this year, says paper

Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) is expected to manufacture around two million notebooks for Asustek Computer this year, calculated from Asustek's announcement of the release of 30% of its notebook production to makers other than Pegatron Technology from last year, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.

With the two million notebook orders from Asustek, Foxconn's total notebook OEM volume will reach four million units this year. In addition to notebooks, Foxconn is also aggressively trying to land manufacturing orders for Asustek and Garmin's co-branded handset, said the paper.
