Vietnam may become iPad production hub for Foxconn
By MYBRANDBOOK
Foxconn, Apple’s largest Taiwanese contract manufacturer is eyeing to shift some production of iPad and MacBook products to Vietnam and lessen the tech giant's exposure to the China-U.S. trade war.
A person familiar with the matter was heard saying that Foxconn is constructing assembly plants for the Apple iPad and MacBook in Bac Giang province, northeast of Hanoi. The source stated the new lines will take some production from China when they open in 2021.
The source specified the shift "was requested by Apple." They added the reason for the relocation is the tech giant "wants to diversify production following the trade war."
Foxconn recently announced it will be investing US$270 million to create a new subsidiary called FuKang Technology Co Ltd. This new subsidiary will play a part in the new production facilities in Vietnam, the sources said.
Meanwhile, Apple is also making a major push for India as well, with Taiwan's Foxconn, Pegatron, and Wistron all shifting segments of the company's production to the southern Asian country. Foxconn has invested $40 billion INR (US$542 million), Wistron has injected $13 billion INR, and Pegatron has allocated $10.9 billion INR for new factories in India.
As the Wuhan coronavirus raged China in February, Apple reportedly shifted production of AirPods Pro Lite, iPads, and Apple Watches from China to Taiwan. However, in May, reports surfaced that assembly of AirPods had been shifted to Vietnam.
