Worldwide electronics leader Foxconn Technology Group (富士康科技集團) breached terms of its contract in Wisconsin, while local governments spent hundreds of millions of US dollars to prepare for the project, a lawsuit filed by a real-estate development company alleges.
Hintz Real Estate Development Co claims that Foxconn, known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) in Taiwan, is in breach of its contract by failing to construct a 10.5G LCD manufacturing facility in southeast Wisconsin not far from the Illinois border, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on Wednesday.
