Dixon and Inventec Join Forces to Fortify India's IT Hardware Ecosystem

Dixon Technologies and Taiwan-based ODM Inventec have formed a joint venture, Dixon IT Devices, to bolster India’s IT hardware ecosystem. Dixon will hold a 60% stake in the venture, with Inventec owning 40%.

The partnership will focus on manufacturing notebook PCs, servers, desktops, and PC components in India, aligning with the Indian government’s ₹22,000 crore electronic component manufacturing scheme. Each of Dixon’s subsidiaries plans to independently apply for incentives under this initiative.

Dixon will establish a dedicated manufacturing park for the joint venture, separate from its upcoming ₹1,000 crore facility in Chennai. The collaboration grants Dixon access to Inventec’s design expertise and global client base, while enabling Inventec to diversify production beyond China in light of potential US tariffs.

This move is expected to boost India’s server design capabilities and strengthen Dixon’s global profile, given Inventec’s role as an ODM for major brands like HP and Dell. As part of Inventec’s broader globalization strategy, some production could shift to India, enhancing the country’s position in global IT hardware supply chains.

Jack Tsai, President of Inventec, emphasized the goal of strengthening supply chain resilience and optimizing costs through diversification. Atul B Lall, Vice Chairman and MD of Dixon, added that the venture combines Dixon’s operational strength with Inventec’s technological leadership to deliver high-quality, innovative IT products.
