TAIPEI – Quanta Computer is considering building a new factory in Southeast Asia, most likely Chonburi, Thailand, according to reports.

For the notebook ODM to establish a site in Thailand, it is required to set up a local branch office. A local commission must evaluate a possible purchase, which could take three to six months minimum.

Quanta has not submitted an application yet, say reports.

Quanta is said to be at capacity in Taiwan, but not all production lines are running. Many customers are shifting production deployments based on the US-China trade war.
