The losses of the chip manufacturer TSMC from the earthquake in Taiwan will reach about 60 million dollars, reported the Taiwanese newspaper “Gunshan Shibao”, quoted by TASS and BTA.
These are consequences of the fact that the working day at the company’s facilities due to the earthquake lasted about 6 hours and, in general, the effect was limited, the publication said, citing a representative of the company.
It was previously reported that TSMC had evacuated personnel from production and construction sites during the earthquake. Employees will return to their jobs after checking the safety of the premises and equipment.
