Dell, a world personal computer giant, on Tuesday completed the building
of its second factory in China, enabling it to double its annual
production capacity in the country.
The two factories, both in Xiamen, a coastal city in east China's Fujian
Province, make China the third largest manufacturing base globally.
The two factories will contribute to eight to 10 percent of Dell's global
production capacity when the second plant goes into full operation.The
new factory produces 7 million computers annually, a source with Dell
said.
"China has become Dell's fifth largest market," said Stephen J. Felice,
president of Dell Asia-Pacific and Japan. "Its huge market potential has
been fuelling the rapid growth of Dell's business in Asia."
Dell's output in China last quarter increased by 40 percentage points
compared with figures a year ago and the sales revenue rose by 29
percentage points.
Computers from the new factory will be sold in Hong Kong, Japan and the
Republic of Korea among other regions, while its first factory mainly
supplies the Chinese mainland, said sources with Dell.
New technologies in the second factory have raised production efficiency
by 30 percent, said Li Yuanjun, general manager of Dell China's Customer
Service Center.
Dell also has a design center in Shanghai.
