Quanta made a statement in April. To adhere to the Covid limits set by the regional government, the Shanghai site stopped operating. According to spokeswoman Carol Hsu, the business received permission to restart operations using a closed-loop system in the same month.

Due to delays in the logistics and a lack of workers, the restart was difficult. Only around the end of June did the Shanghai unit resume full production, he claimed. In a conference call with investors about its Shanghai operation, Hsu said that the significant rebound took longer than anticipated. He described the business’s performance as dismal.

Quanta and Expenses

He stated that Quanta spent a lot of money on hiring new staff and retaining existing staff on campus. Earnings in the third quarter will continue to be impacted by Shanghai’s interruptions. According to Chief Financial Officer Elton Yang, the company is offering more incentives to retain enough employees.
