Tighter energy consumption policies are putting supply chains at risk in the peak season for electronics goods
Bengaluru/Taipei - Several Apple and Tesla suppliers have suspended production at some Chinese factories for a number of days to comply with tighter energy consumption policies, putting supply chains at risk in the peak season for electronics goods.The development comes as tight coal supplies in China and toughening emissions standards have triggered a contraction in heavy industry in several regions, dragging on the country's economic growth rate, analysts have said.
The Taiwanese maker of printed circuit boards said it did not expect significant impact as other plants would make up production. Concraft Holding Co, a supplier of speaker components for Apple's iPhone and which owns manufacturing plants in Suzhou city, said it would suspend production for five days until noon on Thursday and use inventory to meet demand.
“UMC's Hejian fab in Suzhou is currently running at full capacity utilisation of 80,000 plus wafers per month,” said the Taiwanese firm, whose clients include Qualcomm.
