Foxconn produces masks more for its own normal operation.
On February 6th, Foxconn ’s official WeChat said that its industrial Fulian recently introduced a mask production line in the Group’s Longhua Park, and trial-produced it on February 5th, with a trial production of 100,000 units per day, and it is expected to produce at the end of February It can reach 2 million pieces per day.
On February 7th, Industrial Fulian issued an announcement saying that the masks produced by the company are “priority used for Foxconn Technology Group’s internal production anti-epidemic protection for nearly one million employees” and will be exported “as appropriate” in the future.
Although the domestic mask production capacity has recovered by 60%, and it can produce 10 million pieces a day, many factories have started the 24-hour overtime mode, but they are still in short supply. Of these 10 million masks, most of them are ordinary masks, dust-proof and anti-fog masks. The average daily production capacity of the strong protective N95 medical protective masks is only There are about 600,000. It is unknown at this time what type of mask Foxconn produces.
Unlike Foxconn, many other companies make masks and protective gear “cross-border” for external use. Fujian diaper maker Daddy Baby, clothing maker Sangun Group, Red Bean Co., Ltd. and Mercury Home Textiles have all obtained qualifications to produce masks and protective clothing. The first batch of protective clothing converted from Hongdou Co., Ltd. was delivered on February 3, and 6000 sets of civilian protective clothing produced by Sangun Group and Mercury Home Textiles were also delivered on February 5.
Foxconn produces masks more for its normal operation. Due to the impact of the epidemic, Foxconn’s start time has been delayed. If it continues to stop production, Apple phones will not be delivered overdue, so Foxconn’s start time is temporarily set for February 10. The factory space is closed, with a large number of personnel and a wide range of contacts. Once a confirmed or suspected case is found, it will bring considerable losses. Foxconn’s production of masks is also an emergency measure that has to be made to start construction. Whether Foxconn will run smoothly and continue in the next few weeks will be crucial.
