On Thursday, November 2, China’s Lenovo Group, Ltd. and Japan’s Fujitsu Ltd. announced a joint venture whereby the world’s largest personal computer (PC) company will acquire a 51% stake in Fujitsu’s PC business.
In addition to Lenovo, state-owned Development Bank of Japan will take 5% of Fujitsu’s spin-off.
The shares will be transferred next year between April and June. Fujitsu is selling off its shares for ¥28 billion (US$245 million).
As the domestic market is set to continue shrinking, Fujitsu, maker of the FMV PC series, is aiming to bolster its competitiveness by joining hands with Lenovo.
