Chaintech Computer, a well-known maker of mainboards, whose sales and profitability have been declining in the past months, recently got a new investor who will transform the company into a maker of memory modules. The changes will result in exit from the mainboard business and concentrating on memory supplies.

IC testing and packaging house Walton Advanced Engineering (Hua Dong) has reportedly acquired a 25% stake in Chaintech and will transform the company into a supplier of memory modules and graphics cards, according to a report over OC WorkBench web-site. In an interview with Commercial Times news-paper, Chaintech had confirmed that the company was gearing up to launch memory module products and would gradually phase out its mainboard business.

Currently approximately 60% of Chaintech’s revenues come from graphics cards, whereas the rest comes from mainboards, audio solutions, modems and other accessories. Both graphics cards and mainboard businesses are highly competitive, so is memory module business.

According to reports, Chaintech will be selling DRAM under its brand name from October.

Founded in 1995, Walton Advanced Engineering Inc. is a memory assembly and testing service provider located in Kaohsiung Export Processing Zone (K.E.P.Z), Taiwan. With more than $500 million investment, Walton now is rated as top 3 memory backend provider in the world, the company claims.
