August 20, 2024 | FoxconnEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Foxconn and the state government of Tamil Nadu in India today inaugurated a new residential complex in Vallam Vadagal Industrial Park. The complex provides a sustainable living community for thousands of employees of the world’s largest manufacturing service provider.
Built by the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT), the complex is a first-of-its-kind initiative reflecting the state government’s commitment to attracting foreign investment while meeting investor needs. Designed as a women-only residential complex, it prioritizes employee well-being, safety, and diversity.
“This residential complex is a testament to our commitment to our employees and to India,” said Foxconn Chairman Young Liu. “It represents a significant step forward in our operations and contributes to the overall development of the region.”
Located 20 minutes from Foxconn’s mega manufacturing site, the multi-building complex offers amenities such as a laundromat, gym, recreational areas, and a cafeteria. It is the first industrial housing complex built by SIPCOT within an industrial park.
Foxconn’s India operations have achieved significant sustainability milestones, including Platinum-level UL2799 certification for Zero Waste to Landfill, construction of a zero liquid discharge sewage treatment plant, and implementation of energy-saving measures. The company has also completed third-party audits under the ERSA 3.0 electronics industry standard, demonstrating its commitment to environmental responsibility.

Ensuring the Next Generation of U.S. Weapons Has Homegrown Electronics
03/31/2026 | David Schild, PCBAAThe U.S. has in the works several new weapons to counter emerging enemy threats. These include new warships, fighter aircraft, bombers, submarines, drones and a network of air defenses to defend the entire U.S. against missile and air attacks. And yet the U.S. will be challenged to produce key electronics within these systems known as printed circuit boards (PCBs), which are primarily sourced domestically. While the U.S. government has played a key role in helping to revive the domestic semiconductor industry, with the exception of some funding through the Defense Product Act it has largely ignored domestic production of PCBs.
