Taipei – Hon Hai Precision Instrument has reported that a fire at the Yantai plant has not disrupted PCB manufacturing operations, a Hon Hai spokesman said.

"Immediately after the fire, the unit made adjustments to accommodate any possible production hiatus," spokesman Edmund Ding said, adding that the adjustments were made seamlessly at a time when "surplus capacity remains a feature of the PCB industry."

No one was hurt in the fire, and damage to the facility is still being determined, he added.

The Commercial Times reported that the fire took out more than one third of the Yantai plant's production capacity, adding that it may take four months for the affected production lines to fully resume operation.
