WINDSOR, UK – Note’s EMS plant here has temporarily suspended production, in line with UK authorities’ decision to limit all non-essential travel and work.
The plant represents about 10% of Note's total production. The Windsor plant will make full use of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme introduced by the UK authorities, which compensates the company for the salary cost of laid-off staff.
Note has eight electronics plants located in Sweden, Finland, Estonia, England and China. After an extended production stoppage in China as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, the plant was reopened on Feb. 10.
Note's plants have otherwise been running with high capacity utilization.
