TAIPEI – The Foxconn rumor mill has kicked into overdrive with reports the world’s largest ODM might buy fellow Taiwanese ODM Inventec Corp.
Several Chinese media have reported the rumor of a marriage between Foxconn, the $65 billion EMS company, and notebook maker Inventec.
Foxconn has indicated a desire to build its share of the worldwide notebook market. Meanwhile, Inventec is said to be restructuring its business to segment its notebooks, servers and handset divisions, thus setting up a sale.
Officials at both companies are either denying the reports or declining comment.
Foxconn reportedly has experience building notebooks for Apple, Lenovo and Sony.
