Pegatron ready to assemble iPhone in Hai Phong …

❌ In the future, iPhone may be assembled in Vietnam when Pegatron, an iPhone assembling partner, is tending to move the production out of China.

✅ Specifically, Reuters quoted Liao Syh-jang, President and CEO of Pegatron, said: “We are facing COVID-19 control measures in the past two months. That is unpredictable. Therefore, I want to emphasize our expansion into Vietnam, India, Indonesia and North America.” Up to now, the restrictions in the world’s most populous country have been gradually removed, but the problem of manpower shortage is still very difficult for Pegatron.

At this time, the expansion of production to Vietnam will solve the shortage of production workers in the far future leading to reducing the dependence on the market and labor in China. In fact, Pegatron has been facing many difficulties in recruiting personnel in China for nearly a decade.

Even Pegatron’s Chief Strategy Officer has revealed that this move has an impact on Apple’s part. “The company’s customers have different reasons for setting up factories in Vietnam, India and Mexico,” he said.

✅ Currently, Pegatron is one of three important partners in charge of the iPhone production process. Since April, due to the impact of the isolation measures in China, the company’s factories in Shanghai and Kunshan (China) have had to stop working. This partly affects the production and delivery to the company’s partners.

Pegatron is building a factory in Hai Phong City. In September 2020, Pegatron invested about 1 billion USD in Hai Phong (with a total capital of about 19 million USD) and the second project is expected to be about 481 million USD in Deep C Industrial Park (belonging to Dinh Vu – Cat Hai Economic Zone) to manufacture electronic equipment. If the iPhone production line is brought to Vietnam, Pegatron will mark the first time that iPhones are manufactured and assembled in Vietnam.
