Published Feb 16th, 2023 10:31AM ESTTo diversify Apple’s supply chain, Apple’s big contractor Foxconn has secured a new site in Vietnam. According to the, the manufacturer has signed a lease with Saigon-Bac Giang Industrial Park Corp to occupy a plot of 45 hectares to meet “operational needs and expand production capacity.”
The site, located in the Quang Chau Industrial Park in Bac Giang province east of Hanoi, was rented through Foxconn’s subsidiary Fulian Precision Technology Component Co. The lease will run through February 2057, the company said. Foxconn signed a US$300 million agreement with a Vietnamese developer last August to build a new factory in Bac Giang, where it already produces iPads and AirPods.
Although the report doesn’t specify which products Foxconn will be making at this factory, a couple of reports from last year indicate that the 2023 Mac Pro and new MacBook models are among the technologies the Taiwanese company will produce in Vietnam., for example, already reported that Foxconn had finalized its plans to relocate some of its MacBook production to Vietnam in December.
The Apple silicon Mac Pro still has a few mysteries behind it, as Apple is rumored to have hit a few roadblocks. For example, it won’t have user-upgradeable RAM and will maintain the same design as its Intel counterpart. A possible M2 Extreme chip was also canceled, as the company is expected to bet on the M2 Ultra processor for this high-end Mac..
