FOXCONN Technology Group, the world's largest custom manufacturer of electronics, resumed hiring at a Chinese factory as it prepares to make a new iPhone, said a person familiar with the plans.
Workers have been recruited at Foxconn's plant in Zhengzhou in Henan Province for the past month, ending a hiring freeze imposed in February, said the person, who asked not to be named because the plans haven't been made public. The extra workers will assemble the new device and existing models and have been added at Apple's request, the person said.
A new iPhone could help Apple regain share amid new smartphone models being released globally this quarter by Samsung Electronics Co and HTC Corp. Apple, which posted record shipments of iPhones in the December quarter, may post its slowest sales rise since 2009 for the three months ended March 31, based on estimates compiled by Bloomberg News.
Foxconn recommenced hiring at Zhengzhou a month ago, with the plant employing 250,000 to 300,000 people, a spokesman for the firm, said yesterday.
