Foxconn Gets Green Light for $270 Million Factory in Vietnam
BAC GIANG, Vietnam—Electronics contract manufacturer Foxconn is set to build a new factory to produce tablets and computers in Vietnam, as Apple plans to widen its iPad and MacBook production lines outside of China.
The Vietnamese government says that it expects the facility to produce eight million units per year, primarily notebooks and tablets. Because Foxconn is a major assembly partner for Apple, it is possible some of this production could be for iPads and MacBooks.
