TAIPEI -- Rumors are once again abounding that Foxconn Electronics is in talks to acquire Pegatron Technologies, the manufacturing arm of Asustek.

According to the reports, any deal would call for Foxconn to cede its retail and channel business in order to acquire Pegatron, the $9 billion contract assembly arm of Asustek.

There is tremendous overlap between Foxconn and Pegatron, from the respective company's manufacturing locations (Shenzhen; Shanghai; Taipei, Juarez, Mexico; and Czech Republic) to their top customers (HP).
