A few weeks ago we reported that Gigstorage was in the process of moving its CD-R manufacturing business to Thailand. According to a
recent article by DigiTimes, the company's new factory is up and running and they've started volume production of CD-R
discs.
Gigastorage, a second-tier maker of optical discs in Taiwan, early in May started volume production of CD-R discs at an
initial monthly capacity of two to three million discs in Thailand, and will begin volume production of photovoltaic conductive paste,
its new product, in July of 2007, according to the company.
Gigastorage completed its shift of CD-R disc manufacturing equipment
from Taiwan to its factory in Thailand and then began production. While the factory's production will focus on CD-R discs for the time
being, Gigastorage may also shift production lines of DVD+R/-R discs from Taiwan if demand in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian
Nations) market grows to a certain level, the company indicated.
