While BTC pulled out of the global optical disc drive business more than two years ago, the company has continued to produce ODD loaders and market drives under the BTC brand in China and Taiwan. According to DigiTimes, BTC has decided to shut down the loader and own-brand marketing businesses due to the global financial crisis.
BTC used to be a global top ODD OEM maker, but stopped business operations in 2006 mainly because the company was unable to solve patent problems, the sources indicated. However, BTC continued to produce ODD loaders as well as marketing own-brand ODDs in Taiwan and China. Under the negative impact of the global financial crisis, BTC is unable to maintain both the loader and own-brand marketing businesses, the sources pointed out.
