Wistron sees no major impact of Karnataka plant vandalisation on company

Taiwanese major to continue manufacturing iPhone SE and iPhone 7 models at the unit

Taiwanese major Wistron, whose iPhone manufacturing plant was vandalised earlier this month over wage issues, has said that the incident will not impact the company significantly.

“As the Narasapura facility is a new operation and the shipment quantity is still small, the incident will not cause significant impact to Wistron,” it said in a statement to the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The company had pegged the damages during the riot at Rs 50 crore. It also manufactures Microsoft and Lenovo products at the factory.

Technology major Apple had said on Saturday that it will not provide new business contracts to Wistron
