TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Foxconn subsidiary FIH Mobile said Thursday it is shifting production to Mexico and Vietnam due to tariff tensions.
According to a company report, sanctions, shifting diplomatic ties, and tariff policies are major factors contributing to supply chain uncertainty, per CNA. As a result, the company said it expects a dip in revenue this year.
As consumer purchasing power weakens and market demand grows more unpredictable, FIH is accelerating its diversification efforts. Vietnam remains a core production base, with ongoing investment in its subsidiary Fushan Technology.
In India, Bharat FIH is scaling down mobile phone operations to branch into telecom, mechanical components, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics such as TVs and wearables.
In North America, FIH’s Chihuahua facility in Mexico is taking on a more strategic role. The plant now offers electronics manufacturing services for the medical sector. The expansion into healthcare marks a shift toward high-value, end-to-end manufacturing solutions that reduce dependence on the Asian supply chain.
Meanwhile, FIH is expanding into other sectors to reduce reliance on traditional business lines. In the automotive sector, the company has launched production of T-BOX telematics control units featuring eCall, an emergency call system. It is also developing electronic mirrors and smart keys.
In robotics, FIH is building integrated hardware-software platforms for smart automation, especially in automotive and electronics manufacturing. Its intelligent recycling robots have already been deployed in US recycling centers.
