The company will open a second China operations center next year in Chengdu, adding production, sales and support in the western part of the country. It will also add an office and as many as 500 workers at its existing Xiamen site, the company said in a statement.
The $100 billion spending projection is a conservative estimate that includes purchases of components and products procured in China, Dell spokesman David Frink said. The company spent about $23 billion in China in 2009, he said.
Last year?s sales increased in the Asia-Pacific region for Dell at a faster pace than other parts of the world. Still, the company got only 12 percent in its business revenue last year from Asia-Pacific, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The manufacturing and customer support center in Chengdu will begin operations in 2011 and may eventually employ 3,000 people, the company said.
Dell said it?s the No. 2 supplier of PCs in China and that it posted a 52 percent revenue increase in its most recent fiscal quarter.
