Apple may halt supply to Wistron for code violations

BENGALURU: Taiwanese electronics contract manufacturer Wistron, which has expansion plans in India, may temporarily lose more supply from tech giant Apple over the violation of the company code of conduct after thousands of its employees resorted to violence at its manufacturing facility in Narasapura last week, according to top industry analysts.

Wistron Managing Director Sudipto Gupta, in a letter to the Karnataka Government, dated December 14, stated that the company is committed to its over $250 million electronic manufacturing plan in India, which is a key to its global plans, and looks to expand its presence in this very important market.
