“Central China’s Henan province plans to build the world’s largest manufacturing base for smart phones starting next year,” Star Chang reports for M.I.C. Gadget.

“The base will be centered on the Foxconn Science Park in Zhengzhou, provincial capital of Henan,” Chang reports. “The expansion plan, which will cost 7 billion yuan (US$1.1 billion), will increase its current production lines and expects to bring US$20 billion in sales revenue in 2012.”

Chang reports, “Foxconn’s factory plant in Zhengzhou was opened last year and it had large recruitment in order for the long run. Now the plant has already reached a daily production of 200,000 Apple iPhones, with 130,000 workers. Foxconn is looking to double iPhone’s output at the new expansion of Zhengzhou factory.”
