Chinese appliance giant Haier will buy Panasonic's Sanyo Electric washing machine and refrigerator units in Japan and Southeast Asia. The deal will be for about 130 million US dollars. The two companies agreed on the transaction and expect to reach the final agreement by September.
中国家用电器巨头海尔将收购松下旗下的三洋电机在日本和东南亚的洗衣机、冰箱企业。交易额将为1.3亿美元左右。这两家公司已经同意进行交易，并且希望在九月份之前达成最后协议。
The Japanese electronic maker says the sale fits their strategy to restructure business overlapping with those of Sanyo Electric. Haier is keen on Sanyo's energy-efficient refrigeration technology. Meanwhile, they've been seeking expansion in Japan's tough white good market.
