[Taiwan Quake] Taiwan's IC Foundries Operating at 80 Pct. After Quake October 7, 1999 (TOKYO) -- IC foundries in Taiwan are operating at about 80 percent following the earthquake, and it will probably take about a month and a half before they return to normal, said Lance Wu, president of Acer Netxus Inc. Acer Netxus is Acer's network apparatus subsidiary. Wu made the comment on Oct. 5 during a press briefing in Tokyo about effects of the earthquake that hit Taiwan in September. According to Wu, plants in the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park, where his company is headquartered, were forced to stop operating because of power failures immediately after the quake. But computer and related product makers managed to return to a normal production schedule within a day or two. However, IC foundries are still suffering the aftereffects, and it will be some time before full production can be restored. Coupled with memory shortages that existed before the quake, the supply shortfall is expected to continue for another month and a half. Acer Netxus also announced on Oct. 5 it signed a sales agent contract with Open Network Co., Ltd. in Japan. A company spokesman said that since Japan-bound shipments could be fulfilled with goods in stock, sales were launched that same day. (BizTech News Dept.)
