The Suzhou-based firm's subsidiary iVtouch will set up a new company with CNY500 million in registered capital to build the plant at the Jiangsu Nantong Economic and Technological Development Zone, SVG said in a statement today. The factory will cover 70,000 square meters and is scheduled to enter operation in 2020 and reach peak capacity within five years.
