Reopened Xi'an, China, is Welcome News for NAND Flash Memory Chip Manufacturers
BEIJING—Samsung and other NAND Flash memory chip manufacturers have begun quoting memory chip prices again, after Chinese authorities ended a pandemic lockdown of the city Xi’an earlier this month. When the lockdown was first announced, suppliers stopped quoting prices because closed-down transportation systems prevented workers from reaching company fabs.
Samsung issued a statement at the time, saying “we have decided to temporarily adjust operations at our manufacturing facilities in Xi’an. We will also take all necessary measures, including leveraging our global manufacturing network, to ensure that our customers are not affected.”
