Bangalore, Dec 27(UNI) City-based Repair and Return (R and R) Private Ltd and Sequel Technology Inc of Taiwan have inked a joint venture agreement to bring the high-end technology of LCD panel repair to India.
Briefing newspersons on the tie-up here last night, Sequel Managing Director David Chao said the two companies would set up a state-of-the-art LCD panel repair service for monitors and laptops and other 'After Market Services (AMS)' for both consumers and electronic industry.
Later, they would expand to take up repairs of cell phone and LCD televisions.

R and R will also provide logistics to our global customers.'' An investment of two million US Dollars would be made to set up the facility in the city.
''We have the technology to repair LCD panels from 15 to 65 inches,'' he added.
