Flexible PCB (FPCB) makers Career Technology and Flexium Interconnect have both reported seeing an obvious increase in orders for handsets in the third quarter compared to their quarterly shipments in the first half, largely due to rising demand for high-end smartphones such as the HTC Touch Diamond, Blackberry and iPhone 3G,
Career's orders in July saw a boost due to vendors planning to launch new handsets. The company expects to start shipping products in August and September, which market watchers believe could help the company see a sequential revenues increase of 15-20% in the third quarter.
Flexium is also seeing shipment increases thanks to the help from its handset clients. Market watchers expect the company to see a sequential revenues growth of around 17% in the third quarter.
