PCB makers hit by heavy snow in China
Taiwan-based printed circuit board (PCB) makers are seeing their production in China affected by severe snowfall that is causing transportation chaos and power shortages in the eastern and central parts of the country, with some makers running at only 30-40% of their capacities. Changshu and Kunshan, which host the production bases of many Taiwan PCB makers, are two of the eastern Chinese areas being hit hard by heavy snowfall.
APCB, which has production facilities in Kunshan, said that power rationing is undermining its production, as its own generators have been unable to support full operations. Orders for optoelectronics PCBs are strong, but the weather conditions and the electricity shortages are expected to affect 5% of its overall shipments, APCB said. Plotech, which also runs PCB production in Kunshan, is also having problems with its shipments, according to industry sources. Some makers have only 30-40% of their capacities running, which is forcing them to halve their shipments, the sources said.
