  • Foxconn Overview
    Foxconn AN OVERVIEW Who is Foxconn? Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., trading as Foxconn Technology Group, is a multinational electronics contract manufacturing company headquartered in Tucheng, New Taipei, Taiwan. Foxconn is the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer and the fourth-largest information technology company by revenue. The company is the largest private employer in China and one of the largest employers worldwide. Its founder and chairman is Terry Gou. What is Foxconn’s Plan in Wisconsin? The plan calls for an immense liquid crystal display panel factory on 1,000 acres a few miles west, in Mount Pleasant. The company said it will produce nearly 7 million high-definition LCD panels a year on a campus totaling 32 million square feet. Foxconn previously has said its buildings would cover 20 million square feet. The company has said the plant will be equipped with 3,263 pieces of equipment and will include molding and tool-and-die operations, final assembly and "back-end packaging" of LCD modules. Foxconn believes its high-definition panels will be increasingly used in fields such as security, medicine and advanced manufacturing, State Taxpayers Direct Commitment for Foxconn Foxconn has committed to building an up to $9 billion plant over six years to make liquid crystal displays and create up to 13,000 jobs. Foxconn would receive up to $2.85 billion in cash payments from state taxpayers over 15 years and additional sales tax exemptions on construction materials for the plant valued at $150 million. But the other tax incentives will be paid as cash if Foxconn doesn't owe taxes.

  • 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).
