Description

Pegatron Corp is a Taiwan-based company producing consumer electronics products. In 2018, the company decided to review its global footprint and relocate production from China to its facility in Czech Republic and Mexico. The main reasons supporting the relocation decisions are the increase in US-China trade tensions coupled with the employees shortages and rising wages in China.
