Intel, Samsung eye full operations at Ho Chi Minh plants in weeks

Units of Intel Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co. are targeting to resume full operations of their Ho Chi Minh City plants by the end of November, a move that could provide relief to global supply chains.

Saigon Hi-Tech Park is helping its tenants, many of which are currently running at about 70% capacity, to operate fully next month, the park’s deputy manager Le Bich Loan said in a phone interview. She didn’t elaborate on the steps the park is taking, particularly efforts at bringing back workers who fled to home provinces.

The Ho Chi Minh City unit of Nidec Sankyo Corp., maker of magnetic card readers and micro motors, also looks to return to full operations in late November, Saigon Giai Phong reported, citing Loan.
