Foxconn's January sales surge COVID disruption shaken off
TAIPEI, Feb 5 (Reuters) -Taiwan's Foxconn 2317.TW, the world's largest contract electronics maker and major iPhone assembler for Apple Inc AAPL.O, said on Sundaythat revenue in January jumped 48.2% year-on-year, as it shook off COVID disruptions in China.
Revenue in January reached a record high, with operations returning to normal and shipments increasing at the Zhengzhou campus in China, a centre for iPhone production, the company said in a statement.
Production of iPhones faced disruption ahead of Christmas and January's Lunar New Year holidays, after curbs to control COVID-19 prompted thousands of workers to leave Foxconn's factory lines in Zhengzhou.
