Apple Adds More iPod Board Makers
Thursday, November 30th, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Apple Computer recently added Gold Circuit Electronics (GCE) to its growing list of iPod printed circuit board makers. The total number of companies producing the circuit boards for Apple, according to DigiTimes, is up to seven.
The other board manufacturers are Tripod Technology, Nan Ya Printed Circuit Board (NPC), Unimicron Technology, Compeq Manufacturing, Wus Printed Circuit and APCB.
The extra manufacturing man power should help Apple come closer to meeting consumer demand, but GCE isn't expected to produce the boards in large quantities until some time next year.
Apple Computer farms out the production of its product components and assembly. Foxconn is one of the more well known iPod manufacturing subcontractors, and was also the focus of poor working condition allegations earlier this year.
