Himax Technologies, Inc. Headquarters and Manufacturing Facilities Little Affected by February 6th Earthquake
February 08 2016 - 5:00AM
All Staff Accounted for and
Safe
Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:HIMX) (“Himax” or “Company”), a
leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and
other semiconductor products, today reported the Company's
headquarters and manufacturing facilities were little affected by
the 6.4 magnitude earthquake which hit Tainan area at approximately
4:00 am local time, February 6.
"Amidst this tragedy, we are fortunate to report
all Himax personnel and their homes are safe and were not directly
impacted by the quake," began Jordan Wu, CEO and President of Himax
Technologies. "Our headquarters and our in-house manufacturing
facilities for LCOS and WLO products, both located in Tainan, were
also little affected. Vast majority of our ICs are manufactured by
third party subcontractors located outside Tainan. Those products
were naturally unaffected by the quake. As for those small
quantities of goods handles by Tainan-based vendors, their
manufacturing is being recovered quickly. It will not cause
meaningful interference to our business operations. We would like
to thank the many suppliers and customers who expressed concern and
checked in with us."
Himax Technologies also announced an immediate
donation of NT$10 million to an earthquake relief fund by the
Tainan Municipal Government.
