The latest news is that a fire alarm has been reported in the Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan, China. After receiving the notification, the Hsinchu Fire Department arrived at the scene and suspected that the outdoor unit of the top floor air conditioner was on fire. It is reported that the fire broke out in the building where Weichuang and Yang Mingguang were located.

According to on-site disaster relief personnel, the suspected ignition point is the outdoor unit of the top floor air conditioning unit. Although the fire was extinguished within 4 hours, the on-site environment was severely damaged. Wei Chuangxin An Factory and Yang Mingguang announced a one day shutdown on the 26th.

Regarding the fire, Wistron announced on March 26th that its Xin'an factory located in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park caught fire on the evening of March 25th. The fire has been completely extinguished and there have been no casualties. The initial judgment is that it was caused by the burning of the outdoor air conditioning box, and the cause of the fire is yet to be determined by the fire department. Only a small portion of production has been affected. Weichuang stated that all companies have purchased fire insurance, and the preliminary assessment shows that there is no significant impact on the overall operation and finance. The actual losses are yet to be determined, and relevant claims procedures will be conducted based on the investigation results; In the future, we will strengthen the safety maintenance mechanism in the factory area.

According to data, Weichuang has been regarded by the outside world as the biggest winner in the 2024 AI server market in recent years, and its main production capacity is located in the Hsinchu area. In order to support the continuous growth of the huge market demand in the past two years, the company has also targeted its three Hsinchu factories and has frequently launched multiple expansion plans. The high gross profit AI server substrate and system assembly capacity that the outside world is most concerned about are mainly supported by the Hukou First Factory, which was previously leased from the display factory Ruixuan, and the expanded Hukou Second Factory. There is still some distance from the location of the fire, so it is estimated that its AI servers will not be greatly affected.
