Simplo, Dynapack Expect Promising Future in 2010

Taipei, Dec. 31, 2009 (CENS)--With new orders from PC brands, Taiwan's top two battery pack makers-Simplo Technology Co., Ltd. and Dynapack International Technology Corp.-are expecting a promising future in 2010.

Simploy has recently landed new orders for notebook PC batteries from Japan's Toshiba and Sony and will start delivery in the first quarter and third quarter of next year, respectively. In the meantime, Dynapack is also reportedly going to ship notebook PC batteries to Samsung in the first quarter of 2010.

Tapping Taiwanese battery makers' excellent production efficiency, Toshiba and Samsung have increasingly outsourced battery modules for notebook PCs to the aforementioned two suppliers this year as a strategic move to boost shipments and market shares globally, according to institutional investors.

Simplo and Dynapack are also expected to benefit from launch of Apple's table PC in January 2010, as the product will adopt high-end lithium-ion polymer batteries for its slim, lightweight body instead of traditional notebook PC batteries, and single-quarter sales of the product are estimated to hit 1.5 million units. Furthermore, with concerns about development of electric cars continuing growing worldwide, the two firms, both of whom have been focused on related battery modules for the green vehicles, will also likely carve out niches in the emerging segment next year.
