Amidst COVID-19, MacBook maker Quanta halts ops at China plants
By MYBRANDBOOK
Taiwan-based MacBook maker Quanta Computer has suspended operations at its Shanghai plant amidst the government's measures against COVID-19. The company said it was in close touch with suppliers and assessing the financial impact. In filings to Taiwan’s stock exchange it has been reported at least 30 other companies are suspending output in nearby Kunshan until April 19. Widespread Chinese lockdowns have begun to exact an unquantifiable toll on the biggest buyer of semiconductors and the largest producer of electronics from iPhones to PCs.
Some companies said the effect on their finances is still unknown, while others expect no major impact. Kunshan, a bustling city that hosts Apple Inc. suppliers including Pegatron and Luxshare Precision Industry Co., began a city-wide lockdown in early April. The companies make parts for consumer electronics products ranging from PCs and smartphones, with many of the components critical for their global customers. The global supply of key tech has already been hobbled by China’s zero tolerance toward the virus and its measures to stamp it out in cities such as Shanghai and Kunshan.
On Tuesday, Pegatron suspended its iPhone assembly campuses in those two cities as China struggles to control the worst virus outbreak in two years. Other key Apple Inc. manufacturing partners including Luxshare and Compal Electronics Inc. also have major operations in Kunshan.
