In August, there was an even bigger drop of 60%. It is expected that in the third quarter, the performance in Vietnam will drop considerably. Xiao Junxiang said that Ho Chi Minh City is under a state of closure, requiring people not to step outside their homes. Everyone’s food and drinks are brought to them by the army. Danang and Hanoi also have a curfew after 6pm and people are not allowed to leave their homes. The overall epidemic in Vietnam does not appear to be under control at all, and although the Vietnamese government has announced that the city will be closed until September 15 and will not improve before opening, the consequences are unpredictable.
Kaiser Permanente has more than 1,400 workers in Vietnam, but many of them are reluctant to work in the factory due to the implementation of the “three localities”. Xiao Junxiang pointed out that the porcelain factory’s current production capacity has dropped by 50% and the faucet factory by 60% compared to normal levels. The number of employees in the bath cabinet factory is even more than 16 from the original 70 rakyat, and the production capacity has plummeted by more than 70%. Namun, because of the safety stock production in the past, despite the epidemic, the porcelain factory can still supply about 2.5 months and the leading factory about 3 bulan, but the bath cabinet factory is very short. Although the maximum monthly production capacity has increased from 2-3,000 in the past to nearly 7,000, there is no one to produce, but fortunately, ada 2 co-operative manufacturers in Taiwan who can be added as reserve factories. Taiwan’s revenue will not be affected, but Vietnam will be more seriously affected.
In addition to the factory in Dong Nai, there are also branches in Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang and Hanoi. Hsiao pointed out that the Ho Chi Minh branch has not even had a dollar of turnover for a long time, while Da Nang and Hanoi are open and closed, although there is still some slight turnover, the overall third quarter of Vietnam will be quite unpromising.
