Foxconn Considers Producing Smaller Displays at Wisconsin Plant to Save Costs [Report]



Foxconn Technology Group is considering producing small to medium sized displays at its $10 billion factory in Wisconsin, reports Nikkei. Originally the company intended to use the plant to build large panels, mainly for TVs.

Last year, chairman and founder Terry Gou announced plans for a $10 billion LCD factory following President Trump's call to bring manufacturing back to America. The project is said to create 13,000 jobs in Wisconsin over four years.

"Previously, Foxconn planned to build a 10.5th-generation display manufacturing factory, which is more suitable for large-sized displays," supply chain sources told Nikkei. "But later they figured out that it might be more feasible and efficient to build a sixth-generation display plant or an 8.5th-generation factory from which they could move some equipment from Asia."
