Foxconn
branches out to Turkey with a new desktop PC production plant, as the company wants to become less dependent on the Chinese labor force. The new plant aims to produce 1.5 million desktop computers per year.
Foxconn signed an investment contract in August 2010, calling for a capital of US$60 million initially and aims to roll out 1.5 million desktops a year, according to industry sources.
The new plant was set up in response to shipment demand from Foxconn's top buyer for desktops, leveraging Turkey's geography proximity for shipments to northern Africa, the Middle East and Europe, the sources pointed out.
