By Lisa Wang / Staff reporter
GreaTek Electronics Inc (超豐) plans to raise prices by double-digit percentage points for new orders to reflect strong demand for its chip packaging and testing services, as well as increasing raw material costs, the company said yesterday.
“Our factory utilization is reaching full. Demand has greatly exceeded what we can supply,” GreaTek president Ning Chien-chao (甯鑑超) told an online investors’ conference. “It may take a period of time to digest the backlog. Supply constraints will remain until the second quarter at least.”
The company said robust consumption of computers, home entertainment gadgets and medical devices fueled demand for its services.
