The company rallied and executed well in an unprecedented operating environment and rapidly adjusted to meet the fluid demand needs of our customers. This required tremendous effort across all functions of our business, especially our front-line design engineers and manufacturing personnel. Through our global COVID -19 Task Force, we made quick decisions and put new protective measures in place, including enhanced cleaning and social distancing protocols, contact tracing, and quarantines as needed. We also implemented thermal imaging temperature checks, mandatory use of masks, and at times performed rapid COVID-19 testing. We also introduced programs to help impacted employees, including those at higher risk and those caring for family members. I want to extend my personal gratitude for the enormous effort and dedication of the entire Benchmark team. Against the background of the global pandemic, we made significant progress throughout the year on our 2020 strategic initiatives: (a) enhancing customer focus, (b) growing our business, (c) driving enterprise efficiencies, and (d) engaging talent. We exited the year with customer satisfaction at an all-time high from our customer-focused initiatives. We also made progress on making it “easier to do business” with Benchmark, along with improvements in deepening our strategic relationships and growing our position with existing accounts. We have improved customer and program retention significantly in the last eighteen months. While we have room to improve customer satisfaction further, I am pleased with the positive trends and the impact this is having on increasing business across our new and FOR BENCHMARK, OUR existing customer base.

  • The Politics of Global Production: Apple, Foxconn and Chinas New
    New Technology, Work and Employment 28:2 ISSN 0268-1072 The politics of global production: Apple, Foxconn and China’s new working class Jenny Chan, Ngai Pun and Mark Selden Apple’s commercial triumph rests in part on the outsourcing of its consumer electronics production to Asia. Drawing on exten- sive fieldwork at China’s leading exporter—the Taiwanese- owned Foxconn—the power dynamics of the buyer-driven supply chain are analysed in the context of the national ter- rains that mediate or even accentuate global pressures. Power asymmetries assure the dominance of Apple in price setting and the timing of product delivery, resulting in intense pressures and illegal overtime for workers. Responding to the high- pressure production regime, the young generation of Chinese rural migrant workers engages in a crescendo of individual and collective struggles to define their rights and defend their dignity in the face of combined corporate and state power. Keywords: Foxconn, Apple, global supply chains, labour, China, outsourcing, consumer electronics manufacturing, collective actions. Introduction The magnitude of Apple’s commercial success is paralleled by, and based upon, the scale of production in its supply chain factories, the most important of them located in Asia (Apple, 2012a: 7). As the principal manufacturer of products and components for Apple, Taiwanese company Foxconn1 currently employs 1.4 million workers in China alone. Arguably, then, just as Apple has achieved a globally dominant position, described as ‘the world’s most valuable brand’ (Brand Finance Global 500, 2013), so too have the fortunes of Foxconn been entwined with Apple’s success, facilitating Foxconn’s rise to become the world’s largest electronics contractor (Dinges, 2010).

  • Chapter 2 Hon Hai/Foxconn: Which Way Forward ?
    Chapter 2 Hon Hai/Foxconn: which way forward ? Gijsbert van Liemt 1 1. Introduction Hon Hai/Foxconn, the world's leading contract manufacturer, assembles consumer electronics products for well-known brand-names. It is also a supplier of parts and components and has strategic alliances with many other such suppliers. Despite its size (over a million employees; ranked 32 in the Fortune Global 500) and client base (Apple, HP, Sony, Nokia), remarkably little information is publicly available on the company. The company does not seek the limelight, a trait that it shares with many others operating in this industry. Quoted on the Taiwan stock exchange, Hon Hai Precision Industry (HHPI) functions as an ‘anchor company’ for a conglomerate of companies. 2 As the case may be, HHPI is the sole, the majority or a minority shareholder in these companies and has full, partial or no control at all. Many subsidiaries use the trade name Foxconn and that is why this chapter refers to the company as Hon Hai/Foxconn. Among its many subsidiaries and affiliates are Ambit Microsystems, Cybermart, FIH Mobile, Fu Taihua Industrial, Hong Fujin Precision and Premier Image. After a near hundredfold increase in sales in the first decade of this century Hon Hai/Foxconn's sales growth slowed down drastically. The company is facing several challenges: slowing demand growth in its core (electronics) business; a weakening link with Apple, its main customer; rising labour costs and a more assertive labour force in China, its main production location; and pressure from its shareholders. 1.

  • 2009 Annual Report Cover Final.Indd
    ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Advancing manufacturing technology Message from the Chairman & CEO The magnitude of the world economic challenges became much clearer in 2009 in all major geographies and in all segments of the electronics industry. While volume and revenue levels became even more compressed, the industry’s pain level rose. Despite this troubling business backdrop, iNEMI not only managed to stabilize, but to actually grow our membership; and many of our members began to see slowly improving business conditions starting in the third quarter. The impact and contributions from Asia grew with seven new members, a maturing Asia Steering Committee and several projects initiated from within that region. At the end of the year, we sponsored a Packaging Substrates Workshop in Japan, which generated proposals for six high-impact projects in packaging and miniaturization. We are working to drive these projects to the formation and implementation stages quickly as the new year begins. In Europe we have done a great deal to grow recognition of INEMI as a key contributor on environmental issues in the electronics Nasser Grayeli manufacturing industry, with further value in Europe expected in 2010. The 2009 Roadmap was the focus of many of our activities this year. We not only pushed it out to industry, but also mined its contents to create the iNEMI Technical Plan and Research Priorities, both valuable documents for guiding iNEMI‘s activities and identifying R&D needs. The Technical Plan has been broadened, with 26 projects either active or in development. The environmental challenges facing mankind continue to demand proactive and aggressive responses.

  • The Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) Industry in 2014
    The Electronic Manufacturing Service Ericsson, routers for Cisco, and printers for HP. Cal- 1 (EMS) Industry in 2014 Comp Electronics (based in Thailand) produces components for HP printers and other products. Celestica (based in Canada, where it was spun off by IBM in 1994), meanwhile, produces sub-assemblies for Cisco’s internet and intranet devices, as well as products for customers such as HP, IBM, and NEC (until 2012, Celestica also was one of the producers of the Blackberry smartphone, for which Foxconn is now taking the lead in design and assembly). Each of these EMS providers has plants around the world, well beyond their home countries. EMS are similar to ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers), with a key difference that EMS providers traditionally did not take ownership of intellectual property, while ODM firms (many of EMS services at Celestica solar panel lab (Canada) which – such as Pegatron, Compal, Wistron, and Photo: Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press Quanta – originated in Taiwan) often retain at least partial IP ownership of the products they design for an OEM. Hence, ODMs historically were stronger at product design capabilities than most EMS providers. However, the line between the two types of service organizations is rapidly blurring and the same companies can act as both ODM and EMS providers. Pegatron, for instance, is one of the EMS producers of the iPhone, while Foxconn has taken on ODM- type responsibility for Blackberry. The boundaries of the EMS market are dynamic, so that measuring market size is ambiguous. However, an estimate by the “Research and Markets” industry analysts is that total electronics assembly exceeded $1 trillion in 2013 and will grow to about $1.5 trillion iPhone assembly at a Foxxcon facility in China in 2017.

  • Anthony Harris October 2014
    Anthony Harris October 2014 Summary Understanding the financial relationships between Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers such as Flextronics, Foxconn and Jabil and the Brand Names of consumer electronics is crucial in all efforts to improve working conditions in the sector. According to Tony Harris, so far most efforts to improve workers conditions have been directed at tragedy event reaction, audits, naming and shaming and union representation yet all have fallen short of expectations. Tony Harris is retired after years of experience in the sector, and supporting the goals of the GoodElectronics Network and the makeITfair project, says whether we like it or not, money is the driving factor for all business decisions. Environmental concerns, compliance to health and safety and worker representation etc. are secondary or tertiary ‘add-on’s in the primary nature of business decision makers. Mr. Harris shows where the economic tension between EMS providers and the brands comes from and how these billion dollar tensions play out on the backs of impoverished workers who are willing to give up their night’s sleep for a few dollars more for basic cost coverage as well as remittance to feed their families. In the following back ground article he shows it is all about margins and explains the standard mark-up on the factory price, the technique of Purchase Price Variance (PVV) and the Profit Life Cycle of fast moving consumer electronics. In other words, how does a $100 electronic factory priced product become a $500 consumer product while the people making that product receive so little under marginalized operating conditions? About the author The author Anthony Harris worked from 1979–1993 for Philips Electronics as Senior consultant Video product safety and liability and Divisional Quality Manager for: Video recording, Passive components and medical systems.
