Valuetronics resumes production at flooded Guangdong plant

Singapore

VALUETRONICS Holdings has resumed production at a plant in Guangdong, China and will ramp up operations at the facility gradually, the electronics manufacturing services company announced on Friday during the midday trading break.

Flash flooding from Super Typhoon Mangkhut forced the company to announce on Sept 17 that it had suspended operations at the plant in Danshui Town in the city of Huizhou. All employees at the plant were safe, and the majority of production facilities at the factory were unaffected. But the flooding caused power outages that led to temporary work stoppages. Power supply has since been restored, Valuetronics said.
