Business in Brief: HP Quality Issues
MOSCOW -- U.S. computer giant Hewlett-Packard has given up its Russian-based computer assembly project because of
quality concerns,Vedomosti reported Thursday.
Hewlett-Packard thought it would be cheaper to assemble computers here rather than import them, but it cannot achieve
the same quality and has abandoned the two-year old project.
Hewlett-Packard imports accounted for 6.9 percent of the market in the second quarter of the year, up from 6.4
percent in the previous quarter, the company said.
