立讯精密工业公司(Luxshare Precision Industry Co.)正通过4.72亿美元的交易收购纬创集团(Wistron Corp.)在中国的iPhone生产业务。(纬创前身为宏基电脑)交易成功后,立讯可能会成为第一家在美国贸易紧张时期成功接单苹果公司手机组装任务的内地公司。此前,台湾纬创公司是仅有的三家组装苹果iphone的合同制造商之一。该公司上周五表示,已同意以33亿元人民币的价格将两家华东地区的子公司出售给立讯(其中一家总部位于昆山市的子公司是纬创唯一的iPhone生产基地)。立讯公司是全球最大的苹果AirPods制造商,同时也生产电缆、充电器到天线的配件和组件等。而来自苹果最新的利润丰厚订单业务,可以帮助该公司成为2019年亚洲股市表现最好的公司之一。苹果此次在贸易战中还在寻求中国大陆的合作伙伴,部分原因还是为了扩大在华货源;但这笔交易对立讯来说无疑是一场胜利。
Luxshare Precision Industry Co. is acquiring Wistron Corp.’s iPhone production business in China via a $472 million deal, potentially becoming the first mainland company to win a coveted role assembling Apple Inc.’s device during U.S. trade tensions. Taiwan-based Wistron, one of just three contract manufacturers that assemble Apple’s iPhones, said Friday it’s agreed to sell two subsidiaries in eastern China for 3.3 billion yuan to Luxshare. One of those units, based in the city of Kunshan, is Wistron’s sole iPhone manufacturing site, according to people familiar with the company’s business. The deal is a win for Luxshare, which produces accessories and components from cables and chargers to antennas but is also the world’s biggest manufacturer of Apple’s AirPods -- a lucrative business that helped the company become one of 2019’s top Asian stock performers. Apple in turn has sought a mainland Chinese partner in part to broaden local sources during a trade war. source
