CHITTOOR, India - Most of the fire safety equipment was not functional at Apple supplier Foxlink’s facility in southern India, which has halted production due to a massive fire incident, a top government official told Reuters.
A part of the Foxlink building had collapsed to the ground due to the fire. There were no casualties. In 2021, production was hit at a facility of Apple contract manufacturer Foxconn due to food poisoning among workers, and in 2020, a Wistron India plant was hit by worker unrest over non-payment of wages.
Many workers gathered outside the facility, with some anxious about the status of their contract jobs. They told Reuters the fire broke out during lunch break on Monday, and some air conditioners exploded as the fire spread.Foxlink management is currently reviewing the situation and expects to have a clearer picture of the impact on the business over the next two days, a source said.
