Delta to Rank Among World's Top-10 Suppliers of Digital Signage Displays in Next 3 Years

Taipei, July 18, 2008 (CENS)--Since venturing into production of digital signage displays and winning big orders from European and American clients, Delta Electronics Inc., Taiwan's leading supplier of power supplies, is ambitious to rank among the world's top-10 suppliers of the new product line in the next three years, according to company sources.

Meanwhile, an influx of orders for power supplies from electronic sectors in upcoming booming seasons is also expected to help Delta score record revenue in July and make the firm's revenue for the second half of the year surge 40% from the first half to reach NT$69.7 billion.

Since its establishment, Delta has been profitable for 37 consecutive years, with a compound annual growth rate of up to 38.4% in earnings. The firm even reported a high ROE (return of equity) rate of 27.5% last year.

Optimistic about prospects of the market for digital signage displays, Delta has focused its development on the products and launched a series of related solutions incorporating images, video and audio. The firm projects global sales of the products to reach 1 million units this year and to grow to 3 million units in 2011, which will be widely used in public places such as airports, shopping malls, department stores and restaurants in the future. At the moment, the firm provides 42- and 47-inch models, priced at about NT$80,000 (about US$2,581 at US$1: NT$31) and boasting higher gross profits rates among the firm's existing product lines.

In the meantime, with seasonal booms approaching, Delta has also landed several profitable orders for power supplies used in the world's newest and most popular TV game consoles, including Sony's new Play Station 3 (which adopts an 80GB hard drive and is slated for launch in August in North America), Microsoft's Xbox 360 with built-in 60GB hard drives, and Nintendo's Wii.

Thanks to brisk sales of new and existing product lines, Delta optimistically expects its sales revenue for the second half of the year to smoothly break the NT$100 billion mark.
