Pegatron, one of Apple’s contract manufacturers, is reducing its manufacturing operations in China

Continual political and economic uncertainties across Europe and between the US and China are creating a significant impact across the manufacturing sector. It has recently been revealed that such instability has led a number of Apple’s assemblers to shift their operations away from China and towards India and Southeast Asia. 
This weekend, Foxconn stated that it is set to invest significantly in India and Vietnam to ramp up its operations there, whilst Pegatron is moving a large number of its manufacturing operations to Indonesia, in order to mitigate a number of growing challenges, such as the threat of US tariffs on Chinese imports, an area of contention which shows no signs of abating. Pegatron has stated that it will also look towards investing in Vietnam and India to ensure its long-term longevity ahead of a tempestuous period.
