São Paulo – Global technology company First International Computer (FIC) is going to invest US$ 20 million next year in operations in the city of Santa Rita do Sapucaí (southeastern Brazilian state of Minas Gerais). The company manufactures motherboards, memory and computers in the city.
FIC should end this year with R$ 16 million (US$ 7.4 million) worth of revenues in Brazil. Next year, revenues should reach R$ 45 million (US$ 20.9 million). FIC used to operate in Brazil in partnership with Phihong, but beginning this month, the two will work separately.
FIC was established in Brazil in 2002. In addition to manufacturing motherboards and memory modules, last month FIC started assembling computers on an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) basis for eight different brands. The factory has a monthly production capacity for 30 thousand motherboards, 20 thousand computers and 50 thousand memory modules. The FIC headquarters are located in Taiwan.
