Foxconn Technology Group has brought the world’s largest iPhone plant to about 90% of anticipated peak capacity, suggesting Apple Inc’s biggest main production partner has secured enough workers despite a Covid resurgence and recent staff upheaval.
Foxconn’s plant in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou is now operating with roughly 200,000 staff, the official Henan Daily reported, citing Foxconn executive Vic Wang. That is about the normal staffing level, based on previous reports. As of December 30, 2022, the plant was shipping at 90% of the peak capacity forecast at the start of last year, the representative said.
The factory’s speedy bounce-back bodes well for production of Apple’s marquee product in the run-up to the Lunar New Year shopping season.
