According to foreign media reports, India's largest drug maker Ranbaxy Laboratories and China Telecom equipment manufacturer ZTE are competitive in the acquisition of these plants to pry open their markets in Europe.

Yesterday, one executive of ZTE, who did not want to tell his name, revealed to the reporter of “Daily Economic News” that ZTE had had the determination of opening the Eastern European markets earlier and planned to construct a mobile phone assembly line in Romania before the first half of 2012. Currently, ZTE is actively promoting the acquisition, hoping to set up smart mobile phone assembly line by taking advantage of the Nokia factory to expand ZTE’s market in Eastern Europe. However, it refused to disclose details of the negotiation and the acquisition as well as the amount of money involved in the transaction.

Relevant information showed that Nokia mobile phone manufacturing plant in Romania was ...

According to the “Daily Economic News”, as for a series of adjustments of ZTE in 2011, an important part is to completely transform to intelligent terminal through the terminal service in order to further enhance its market share in Europe and optimize product distribution, expecting to enhance the overall profitability of the terminal business.

It is reported that the high-end mobile phone of ZTE—Skate4.3 currently has gone to the market in the United Kingdom, France, and Spain first, but it has not been introduced into the our country.

According to ZTE sources, its products mainly aim at the domain of 2G and 3G entry-terminal.
