Xiaomi begins to produce in the West, that's what changes for us

When we think of Xiaomi, the first country that comes to mind is there China. It is natural that this is the case, all in all it is a company born there. But as with all multinationals, precisely because this is its name, the production can also be delocalized. This is the case of the brand that apparently started the first production "tests" in Turkey. The news dates back to a few days ago and reported on Daily Sabah (via Gizchina). To confirm this novelty is also Mustafa Varank, minister of industry and technology of the Turkish nation. But let's go see the details.

Xiaomi also begins to produce in the West: if the production of smartphones approaches us, what changes will we have?

Xiaomi is preparing to start smartphone production in Turkey. The expected period is the first quarter of the year (this, therefore) the company said in a statement released Thursday. Usher Liu, Country Manager of the brand for Turkey, said that Turkey is a key country for the Chinese technology giant and this step is essential. But it is not only important for the country itself, but for the whole of Europe. We will see between poco Why.

Production in the country will start at a factory of approx 14.000 square meters. The factory, which was built in collaboration with salcomp, a large company that has been involved in building and selling products related to charging mobile devices since 1982, will have one annual production capacity of 5 million smartphones. The initial investment was around 30 million dollars but it is expected to increase annually given the strategic importance of this pole.

Now let's move on to the implications. What will change for us Westerners? Maybe nothing, maybe a lot. We are confident that i device costs will decrease slightly with this investment. If production is decentralized and takes place in a place closer to us, i transport costs will be significantly lower than bringing smartphones from China. We do not go into the matter of the cost of labor in China and Turkey, it is not the right place.

Recall that this plant, which will initially employ 2000 employees, will be crucial in that one of the economic corridors of the New Silk Road will pass through Turkey. In particular, the one that sees Pakistan as a protagonist, thanks to an Istanbul-Tehran-Islamabad railway network.
