TAIPEI, April 29 (Reuters) - Taiwan contract notebook PC maker Wistron Corp (3231.TW: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Tuesday it will buy Lite-On Technology's (2301.TW: Quote, Profile, Research) monitor business for T$9.2 billion ($300 million) in cash, as it strengthens its supply chain in the fast-growing sector.
The purchase would mostly involve inventory, equipment, intellectual property and personnel, but no land or manufacturing plants were included, Wistron said in a statement.
"This acquisition will give us more bargaining power and strengthen our component end," CFO Henry Lin told Reuters on the sidelines of an event to announce the deal.
