A subsidiary of Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), FIH Mobile Limited is a global provider of manufacturing services for the mobile and wireless communications industry. Established in 2002 and publicly listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 2005 (Ticker: 2038.HK), the company was formerly known as Foxconn International Holdings before rebranding in 2013. This change was made to create a distinct brand identity separate from its parent, Foxconn. Headquartered in New Taipei City, Taiwan, FIH Mobile operates a global network of research and development centers and manufacturing facilities in Taiwan, China, India, Vietnam, and Mexico.
FIH Mobile's business model is centered on providing vertically integrated, end-to-end solutions for its clients. The company's core services encompass product development, design, manufacturing, assembly, supply chain management, and after-sales repair services. Revenue is primarily generated through these comprehensive manufacturing services provided to leading brands in the electronics sector. While historically focused on the handset market, FIH Mobile has strategically diversified to mitigate reliance on the volatile smartphone sector. This diversification strategy, under a "2+2" framework, leverages its communication technology expertise to expand into high-growth industries such as automotive electronics, smart manufacturing, and robotics. The company's automotive division focuses on smart cockpit systems, Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), and connected car services, while its robotics division develops integrated hardware-software platforms for automation.
The company's service portfolio is extensive, offering everything from market analysis and concept development to prototyping and validation. In addition to manufacturing, FIH provides software engineering solutions, including AI-driven and AIoT solutions, and holds Google GMS 3PL certification. A significant milestone was the 2016 acquisition of Microsoft Mobile's feature phone business, which included a manufacturing facility in Hanoi, Vietnam. This deal positioned FIH as a manufacturing partner for HMD Global, the company that now designs and sells Nokia-branded devices. Responding to global trade dynamics, FIH is enhancing the strategic roles of its facilities in Mexico and Vietnam, with its plant in Chihuahua, Mexico, now providing electronics manufacturing services for the medical sector.
