G.M.I. ACQUIRES DIGITAL
VISION'S COMPONENT BUSINESS
HONG
KONG, July 9, 2007 ¨C
G.M.I. Technology Inc. today announced the acquisition of Digital
Vision Inc.'s (DVi) Consumer Electronics component and solutions
design business. As part of the acquisition G.M.I. will assume key
supplier and customer partnerships from DVi along with key staff.
The transition between the two companies has started and is due
to complete by September 2007. In the first quarter of 2007 DVi
shipped over 3 million units of CE components, primarily HDD's and
chipsets, all for the China CE market. This business will transfer
to G.M.I. DVi will continue to operate focusing on the fast growing
market for small form factor display modules for CE applications
in China.
Commenting
on the announcement, Lewis Lo, president of G.M.I., said, "We are
very excited to add DVi's strong portfolio of CE solutions, long
term customers, and qualified staff to the G.M.I. team. This new
business complements G.M.I.'s current business extremely well and
should accelerate our progress towards achieving our growth objectives,
not only in mainland China but also in other markets. In addition
to the solutions and large customer base we are acquiring, we are
excited to add Hitachi GST (HDD's) and Actions Semiconductor (chipsets)
to our supplier partner base."
Pete Andreyev,
chairman of DVi, added, "We are very pleased to have reached this
mutually beneficial agreement with G.M.I. With G.M.I.'s strong market
presence and resources they will enable the CE business that DVi
has established to grow to the next level. This will also enable
DVi to focus on our strategic shift to become a leading provider
of display modules to the fast growing China CE market. Lewis and
I are confident that this agreement is a win for G.M.I. and D.V.I.,
for our valued partners, for our employees and investors, and for
the Greater China CE market."
