Ritek expands BD-R production
Due to increasing demand from existing clients, Ritek (Taiwan) is in the process of doubling their monthly production capacity for Blu-ray recordable discs. Existing DVD production lines will be upgraded to Blu-ray manufacturing in order to support the expansion.
At the end of 2008, Ritek also plans to add yet another Blu-ray line, tripling their current monthly manufacturing capacity to 750,000 units, for BD-R and BD-RE discs combined.
Increased BD-R/RE manufacturing and competition should help to drive down pricing on Blu-ray recordable discs all over the world. This could be good news for Blu-ray burner manufacturers, consumers, and BD-R producers. Lower priced BD-R/RE discs could spur consumer demand for Blu-ray burners, which could in turn lead to more business for the BD-R suppliers.
