"Vietnam's general investment environment is pretty good," Ding said. "We've considered the logistics and the company's supply chain and we've taken into account the opinion of our existing and target customers."
Ding said the company has yet to pick a location for the production site, though it favors northern Vietnam. Hon Hai expects mass production at its planned Vietnam factories to begin "within a year," he said.
Hon Hai, a contract maker of a wide array of electronics and parts, including motherboards and connectors, already has factories in Taiwan, China, Brazil, the Czech Republic and Ireland.
The Hon Hai group, which includes Foxconn International Holdings Ltd., is a contract supplier of iPod for Apple Computer Inc. and mobile phones for Nokia Corp.
