The firm could be preparing the jump of the production of some iPad and MacBook to Indonesia so it is not strange that this news now appears in Reuters in which it is said that it will also add a million dollars of investment to assemble chips for the iPhone.
The truth is that after Huawei's uproar with the United States, all the American firms that have production lines there are making a move to avoid being affected by retaliatory restrictions from the Chinese government. In any case Pegatron's investments in Indonesian factories are valued at about $ 300 million so it seems that this is all serious.
PT Sat Nusapersada, is a factory on the island of Batam that we already mentioned a few days ago with the recent news also of Reuters, so the pattern repeats itself and this means something. What we are not clear about is the date on which all this could start, since it is not easy to move production and assembly lines between countries. Logistics plays a very important role in this sense, and it is that engineers have to go from one side to the other to start the manufacturing process and it is not a task as simple as pressing a button and starting to manufacture devices ... In any case it seems that everything is happening with quite quickly so we do not rule out having more news regarding this issue soon.
Now we have to wait and see how it evolves since it is important for China that the problems with the governments do not affect the factories that produce for other countries such as the United States and vice versa. Definitely Pegatron is already heading towards Indonesia.
