Foxconn

Tech giant Apple’s contract manufacturer Foxconn has reportedly begun production of the company’s iPhone 11 lineup at its production plant near the southern city of Chennai in India.

The CEO of Taiwanese company Foxconn, a supplier of smartphone components for Apple, on Tuesday described India as a “bright spot for development” and said his company is planning “further investments” there, once the coronavirus pandemic is no longer a major factor in operations.

Tech giant Apple said this week that it does not expect to meet its second-quarter revenue forecast due to global supply shortages caused by the Chinese coronavirus.

Apple supplier Foxconn has stated that it has a plan in place to continue to meet all manufacturing obligations in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak in China and that iPhone production should not be affected.

Apple may face significant disruptions to its manufacturing supply chain as China continues to deal with the spread of the coronavirus, according to a recent report.

China’s state-run Global Times took great exception to Golden Globe Awards host Ricky Gervais’ slam at the Apple corporation for using “sweatshops in China,” publishing an editorial response on Monday that criticized Westerners for “refusing to work hard and pinning their hopes on public welfare.”

According to a recent report from China Labor Watch, at least 1,000 Chinese school-aged teenagers are being recruited to work long and often illegal hours as “interns” at factories producing Amazon Alexa devices.

Foxconn, the Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer, is considering the sale of its new $8.8 billion display panel factory in China, according to a Friday-published Reuters report citing “people familiar with the matter.”

Economic populist sentiment is continuing to rise across the United States, a new poll finds, revealing that about 2-in-3 swing voters say the country’s economic system mostly benefits the well-connected, powerful, and rich.

Terry Gou, chairman of the electronics manufacturer Foxconn, announced on Wednesday his intention to run for the presidency of Taiwan, in a move that is likely to shake up the country’s political landscape ahead of next year’s elections. 

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Foxconn Technology Group said Monday that its manufacturing facility in Wisconsin will be producing flat-screen panels by the end of 2020, with construction starting later this year.

The company said it changed its mind after “discussions with the White House.”

Foxconn planned to build a huge liquid-crystal display factory in Wisconsin. Then the bottom fell out of the market for televisions.

American workers thanked President Trump as a new Foxconn manufacturing plant broke ground in Wisconsin on Thursday.

“As Foxconn has discovered, there is no better place to build, hire and grow than right here in the United States,” Trump said. “America is open for business — more than it has ever been open for business,” he said.

Apple iPhone supplier Foxconn has announced that it is planning a second manufacturing plant, this one in Michigan. After Foxconn announced a new plant in Wisconsin just last month, these newest jobs are coming to the second state that was key to President Trump’s election in 2016.

President Donald Trump recently claimed that Apple CEO Tim Cook promised to build three new manufacturing plants in the U.S.

A big win for Paul Ryan and Reince Preibus.
