Acer para ser un 8.97% Accionista de Apacer, Consejos de cooperación

Acer is bidding to buy 11 million equity shares of Apacer, a major DRAM and NAND flash products manufacturer. The shares, valued at NTD 363 millón, will make the Taiwanese prebuilt PC and notebooks giant an 8.97% shareholder of Apacer’s stock. The announcement put out by Apacer also speaks of an enhancement of “strategic collaborations” between the two companies. This could only mean one thing—that Apacer becomes a supplier of DRAM and NAND flash products to Acer.

Acer sells a small but significant lineup of SSDs and PC memory products in the DIY retail channel. These products are sourced from BIWIN, an OEM of DRAM and NAND flash products. Will Apacer replace BIWIN as a supplier? Tendremos que esperar y ver. Besides an OEM, Apacer sells its own-branded memory cards, USB flash drives, SSD, and PC memory modules; besides holding the PC enthusiast brand ZADAK, which sells high-end SSDs and overclocking memory modules.
