Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) will be the largest OEM/ODM for handsets, tablets and desktops in 2015, company chairman Terry Guo claimed at its 2015 shareholders meeting on June 25.
In addition being to the largest OEM for iPhones, Foxconn produces smartphones for Sony Mobile Communications, Nokia, BlackBerry as well as Xiaomi Technology, Huawei Device and Lenovo.
Foxconn factories in Brazil and the Czech Republic and will set up in India, Guo said. Foxconn continues to establish component supply chains to increase its advantage over competitors, Guo indicated.
In response to shareholders' questions on whether Apple releasing OEM orders to other makers will have a negative impact on Foxconn, Guo stressed that Foxconn has cooperated with Apple since the first generation of its products and will continue to be its major OEM. Competitors are unable to land orders from Apple simply by quoting lower OEM prices, Guo said. According to Taiwan-based supply chain makers, Foxconn is the largest OEM for both iPhone and iPad while Pegatron and Wistron are additional OEMs for iPhone, and Pegatron and Compal Electronics are additional OEMs for iPad.
