NEC Corp. (Tokyo) recently announced it would sell NEC Moli Energy Ltd. (Canada), the production center for its cylindrical batteries, to E-One Energy Technology Corp. (Taiwan).NEC, which currently has a 66.08 percent stake in the Canadian unit, will sell to E-One after buying out the stakes held by Mitsui & Co. Ltd. and Yuasa Corp.
