The Hong Kong based, Nam Tai Electronics says that it has received a new order to manufacture 50,000 attachable cameras for cellular phones from a new customer. These attachable cameras are the video graphics array (VGA) resolution digital camera accessory products of 300,000 pixels that can be supported by cellular phones. Nam Tai expects to deliver the attachable cameras during the second quarter of 2003.
"Besides manufacturing snap-on cameras for an existing customer, we are pleased to be offered an opportunity to manufacture attachable cameras for cellular phones of another customer. This new order demonstrates that customers have recognized Nam Tai's manufacturing technology and capability. We also believe it illustrates Nam Tai's ability to compete in this market segment of the electronics industry," said Mr. Tadao Murakami, Chairman of Nam Tai. "We believe that the demand for cellular phones with digital cameras is giving a boost to the electronic manufacturing industry and that Nam Tai will benefit from the business opportunities arising in this area."
Nam Tai was founded in 1975 as an electronic products trading company based in Hong Kong and shifted its focus to manufacturing of electronic products in 1978. The company moved its manufacturing facilities to China in 1980 to take advantage of lower overhead costs, lower material costs and competitive labor rates.
The identity of the new customer was not disclosed."
