Great Wall Unit to Join Hands with IBM in Hard Disk Drive
China's Great Wall Technology Co said on Thursday its affiliated company, Shenzhen ExcelStor Technology Co Ltd, would cooperate with International Business Machines Corp (IBM) to make hard disk drives.

ExcelStor would sign a deal with IBM in Shenzhen next Thursday, Great Wall spokeswoman Chen Yanming said.

She declined to give any more details, and IBM was not immediately available for comment.

Great Wall, a Hong Kong-listed Chinese computer products maker, said last December it was in talks with ExcelStor Group Ltd to set up a US$30 million hard disk drive research and development center in the United States.

ExcelStor is 20 percent-owned by computer parts maker Shenzhen Kaifa Technology, which is in turn 55.96 percent-owned by Great Wall.
