Known as a manufacturing partner of Apple, Foxconn would build a plant named Fukang Technology that is specialized in manufacturing tablets and laptops with the production capacity of eight million units per year.

As of December 2020, total investment capital of the group stood at US$1.5 billion and employed over 53,000 locals, in which the investment capital in Bac Giang province amounted to US$900 million.

In 2021, the group would continue to invest another US$700 million and create jobs for 10,000 people.
