CMC to set up world’s largest DVD disc factory

CMC Magnetics will establish the largest DVD disc factory in the world, with a monthly production capacity of 40 million DVD discs, according to company chairman Robert Wong at an institutional investor conference on October 5. The factory, to be located in Thailand, will begin volume production in the first quarter of next year, according to Wong.

Through its 100% owned subsidiary, EMC Investment Holding, CMC will indirectly invest 410 million baht (US$10.0 million) to establish the operating company of the new factory, Multimedia Storage (Thailand), according to a CMC announcement posted on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The site of the new factory covers 3.80 hectares (409,170 square feet).

CMC is phasing out production of the nearly profitless CD-R disc and shifting to that of the highly profitable 16x DVD+R/-R disc, Wong pointed out. In addition, the company is poised for production of several new product lines next year, including Blu-ray discs, HD-DVD discs, HD-DVD DL (single-sided double-layer) discs and high-speed LightScribe DVD discs, Wong indicated.

Taiwan’s optical disc manufacturing industry currently consists of too many makers to have healthy competition, Wong noted. The industry would be best suited if it consolidated and only three players remained, said Wong.

He also said, Muffel should be world's first HD DVD DL testing woman.
