As part of a strategic shift in its U.S. operations, Taiwan-based Foxconn (Hon Hai Precision Industry’s) subsidiaries are selling off assets at its Lordstown, Ohio, facility, the company announced on Aug. 4.
The site, covering 599.6 acres, with a building area of approximately 6.04 million square feet, is being sold to Crescent Dune for $88 million, with an expected disposal gain of around $15.69 million.
The subsidiaries are Foxconn EV Property Development, Foxconn EV Asset Management, and Foxconn EV System. The disposals include land, factory buildings, and machinery, totaling $375 million, with expected gains exceeding $170 million, according to Digitimes.
The other two transactions involve Foxconn EV Asset Management and Foxconn EV System, which are selling machinery and equipment with transaction amounts of $257 million and $30 million, respectively, totaling US$287 million. The company estimates a combined disposal gain of $154 million from these two deals.
Foxconn stated, however, that its North American Model C electric vehicle (EV) is not affected. The company said that with the growing demand for computing power, the company will continue to develop its EV industry while simultaneously focusing on AI development. In the U.S., Foxconn plans to prioritize a dual-track approach, advancing both EVs and AI servers.

Punching Out: How Many PCB Companies Are There in North America Now?
03/19/2026 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!When I am asked how many PCB shops are still in the U.S., my answer is usually, “About 130. How many do you want to buy?” However, I do not really know the number. My job is either to sell PCB shops or help people buy them, not to count them. I probably should keep better track of them, but many are small (70% have revenue below $10 million), or they say they are making boards even if they rent out their facility as an auto repair shop.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/28/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Yesterday was the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. The traditional meal is, of course, roast turkey with “all the trimmings.” Although not everyone observes that menu, most do, and it was reported that 42 million turkeys were consumed on that day. With an average weight of 16 pounds per turkey, we cooked up 672 million pounds! With approximately 342 million people in the U.S, that pencils out to just under two pounds of drumstick and white meat per person. That, my friends, is a whole lot of leftovers.
