HANOI, April 22 (Reuters) - Apple supplier Quanta
Computer  2382.TW  plans to set up a factory in northern
Vietnam, the Vietnamese government said.
    The company, a MacBook contract manufacturer, on Friday
signed an agreement with the authorities of Nam Dinh province,
90 km (56 miles) south of Hanoi, to construct the facility at an
industrial park there, the government said in a statement late
on Friday.
    The facility, which would be Quanta's 9th factory globally,
would initially cover an area of 22.5 hectares, the statement
said, without giving its capacity nor a time frame for the
construction.
    Local media said on Saturday Quanta would invest $120
million in the factory.
