據媒體報道，中國臺灣大同集團已經同廈華簽訂協議，將通過旗下的CPT公司為其提供TFT LCD電視。 Tatung chairman W.S. Lin recently said Tatung and Xoceco will form a new strategic alliance to upgrade mutual competitiveness.
He claimed that Tatung exported about one million LCD TVs in 2008, aiming this year to ship 100,000 units in Taiwan to be among the top-three. Xoceco, a top-10 LCD TV brand in China and reinvested affiliate of CPT, has replaced Proview, a top-five LCD monitor maker worldwide, to become Tatung LCD TV contract manufacturer.
Lin stressed that Xoceco operation has been improving and began turning profitable, hoping the subsidiary can be relisted in the public capital market. Xoceco plans to procure three million, or more than US$700 million, TV panels from Taiwan this year, or 85% of its overall annual purchase value.
The Chinese LCD TV brand will buy sub-37-inch panels from CPT and larger ones from other Taiwanese suppliers as AU Optronics Corp. (AUO) and Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. (CMO).
