The building, located in Kunshan (Jiangsu), will benefit from 285,000 square meters of useful space, the equivalent of around forty football fields. The number of employees who will work there is still unknown, but several thousand service providers are already carrying out the work.
We were unable to access job offers for the site, but the latest news isrecruitmentwas a problem within this society. To remedy this,its managers then chose to offer hiring bonuses, in particular to encourage former team members to return to their positions. Remember that on site, working conditions are relatively difficult.
Production
Luxshare's new logistics unit should enable it to honortwelve to fifteen million iPhone deliveriesby next year, compared to less than seven currently. A significant increase of almost 50%, enough to seriously compete with the big names in the sector such as Foxconn, Wistron or Pegatron. They too are based in Asia.
Of course, we immediately think ofiPhone 14 which would likely arrive by next Septemberon the market. These should be available in four different versions; two with a 6.1-inch screen and two others with a larger 6.7-inch display. But that's not all, sincethe iPhone SE, too, is expected in a new edition in the first half of 2022.

The cost of this acquisition has not been revealed, but for the entire new complex it would amount to more than a billion and a half euros – at the current exchange rate of course, converted from a sum in yuan .
