Foxconn chairman says expects "limited impact" from chip shortage on clients

The Hindu  

The chairman of Apple Inc supplier Foxconn said on Saturday he expects his company and its clients will face only "limited impact" from a chip shortage that has rattled the global automotive and semiconductor industries. "Since most of the customers we serve are large customers,they all have proper precautionary planning," said Liu Young-way, chairman of the manufacturing conglomerate formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd "Therefore, the impact on these large customers is there,but limited," he told reporters. Liu said he expected the company to do well in the first half of 2021, "especially as the pandemic is easing and demand is still being sustained." Liu also said the company was still looking for semiconductor fab purchase opportunities in Southeast Asia after not winning a bid to take over a stake in Malaysia-based 8-inch foundry house Silterra.
