The unpredictable effects of COVID-19 and unstable supply chains have increased uncertainty worldwide regarding consumer demand and the shipping of products, Pegatron said in its annual report. “Pegatron will continue monitoring the supply of key components and working closely with its suppliers to optimize capacity allocations,” the company said. Pegatron’s board of directors last month approved a plan to invest an additional US$50.61 million to expand its manufacturing hub in North America, the company said in a regulatory filing. Pegatron said it had already planned to invest US$164 million on production lines in North America so that it could accommodate an increase in orders in the region. Last quarter, communication products were the biggest revenue contributor, accounting for 60 percent of total revenue, the company said.
