Bestdisc Buys Blu-ray Production Line

Taiwanese optical disc manufacturer Bestdisc has procured a production line for the manufacturing of Blu-ray movies. While relatively small compared to its competitors, Bestdisc plans to compete for orders in Japan along with market leaders Sony DADC and Memory-Tech. No specific date was given for when set-up would be completed. U-Tech Media, one of the bigger optical disc manufacturers in Taiwan, is in the process of developing a Blu-ray production line with assistance from parent company Ritek, and expects to finish develop by the end of this quarter. Feng Sheng Technology is waiting for demand to rise before they begin Blu-ray production.
