ST. LOUIS -- Viasystems Group plans to resume full-capacity production at its printed circuit board factory in Zhongshan by the end of the week.

Production at the 800,000 sq. ft. has been partially halted since June 7 following a fire in an electrical box.

The company said it installed an interim source of electrical power and awaits local authorities’ tests of the interim circuits. Permanent repairs are expected to be installed during the coming months with no further interruption to production activities.

The incident’s effect on the company’s consolidated revenues for the quarter ending June 30, and thereafter is expected to be minor, and the company has worked with the factory’s customers to prioritize product orders after full production resumes.
