Office equipment manufacturer
Samsung Electronics could build a research and development centre dedicated to
printers, it has suggested.
The proposed centre would be located in the Chinese city of Weihai in the Shandong Province and would focus on tailoring printer products for customers in China.
No financial information, such as the amount of investment and financing methods, were made available by the company, according to a report in the Korea Times.
Samsung's digital media division president Park Jong-woo made an unexpected personal visit to the Chinese printer plant recently.
A spokesperson for the
office equipment company told the website: "We have been engaged in talks to create the research centre there with a strong focus on design.
"The centre, if completed, will be dedicated to helping produce tailored products for Chinese consumers."
According to the report,
Samsung's Weihai plant produces about 80 per cent of the
office equipment company's total printer production.
The remaining 20 per cent, comprising mainly high-end products, are made in Gumi in the south-east.
Samsung recently released the ultra-stylish ML-1630 "world's slimmest" monochrome laser printer and SCX-4500 multifunctional printer, among other
office supplies.
