“Samsung Electronics is rapidly increasing the number of products it makes in China, with its cheaper line of air conditioners as well as audio, MP3, and notebook computers sold in Korea now allproduced in the world’s most populous country.
Samsung Electronics said Monday it is winding down notebook PC production in Suwon and moving it to a factory in Suzhou, China. The company started the relocation process in 2003, relegating the Suwon facility to making advanced models only. With Monday’s move, the Suwon plant will only handle research and development, marketing, and product planning.
Manufacturing of audio products moved to Huizhou, China in the 1980s, where home-theater products have also been made since the late 1990s. All MP3 players are being produced in Huizhou.”
