TAIWAN - Notebook PCB supplier HannStar Board has reportedly suspended its investment plans in Vietnam. Citing inadequacies in the local government infrastructure as the reason for the decision, HannStar Board will now look to China for its expansion, with preference for locations near Shanghai and Nanjing, according to company sources.
The company reportedly will also increase manufacturing space in its current China plant by over 1 million square feet for PCB manufacturing, and 50,000 square feet for HDI board manufacturing later this year. The company also reports that it will also increase production capacity in its Taiwan plants by 100,000 square feet.
