Apple's outsourced Lightning cable plant in India goes up in flames
Apple supplier Foxlink has admitted a fire damaged its plant in Tirupati, India, and that disruptions to production are to be expected as a result.
Foxlink – or Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co., Ltd. as it is known in Taiwan – bills itself as"a total solution provider for fully-assembled accessories containing essential mechanical and electronic components." In Tirupati that translates into operating a plant that employs around 400 staff and is believed to build Lightning cables for Apple.
Whatever goes on at the plant, Foxlink acknowledged the February 27 fire in a pair of regulatory filings.:"we followed detailed protocols to evacuate everyone quickly and safely," adding"There were no serious injuries and all employees have returned to their accommodation."four production lines have been affected, but that as Foxlink is insured for plant, equipment, and inventory the blaze won't impact its bottom line.
