Taipei, Feb. 18 (CNA) Nanya Technology Corp., a Taiwan-based DRAM maker, retained its position as the world’s fourth-largest supplier in the fourth quarter of last year, according to market information advisory firm TrendForce Corp.

In a research report, TrendForce said Nanya, a DRAM manufacturing arm of the Formosa Plastics Group conglomerate, posted US$558 million in sales during the October-December period, up 26.9 percent from a quarter earlier.
