Taipei, May 20 (CNA) Nanya Technology Corp. (南亞), a Taiwan-based dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chip maker, remained the world’s fourth largest DRAM supplier in the world in the first quarter, according to market information advisory firm TrendForce Corp.

In a recent research report, TrendForce said Nanya, a DRAM manufacturing arm of conglomerate Formosa Plastics Group (台塑集團), posted sales of US$394 million for the January-March period, up 3.6 percent from a quarter earlier because of higher DRAM prices.

Nanya remained the fourth largest DRAM supplier in the quarter, but its market share fell to 2.80 percent from 3.10 percent seen in the fourth quarter of last year.
