D-Link's main produc-
tion facilities are locat-
ed in Hsin-chu, Taiwan,
Dongguan, China and Wujiang, China. The
Company has three manufacturing plants in Goa,
India and one in Irvine, California, USA.
D-Link's production line in Irvine, California
is engaged in the manufacturing of high-end
products for the U.S. market, as well as the
world market. The D-Link plants in Goa produce
timely shipments in the subcontinent and to
nearby markets.
The Hsin-chu facility in Taiwan has a total floor
area of 452,000 square feet. The plant has seven
Surface Mount Technology (SMT) lines, which can
be joined together to produce three extra long
SMT lines if required. It also has four through-
hole (manual insertion) lines, six final assembly
lines and an automated warehouse system. The
facility runs three full shifts per day.
The Dongguan facility in China has a total floor
space of 426,000 square feet, with six SMT and
through-hole lines, and five final assembly
lines and can be expanded to accommodate up
to fourteen SMT lines. The plant's most
important advantage to D-Link is its proximity to
Taiwan headquarters.
The China plant also provides the benefits of
inexpensive labor and cost-effective product com-
ponents. In addition, a common language and cul-
ture with the head office enables the company to
easily achieve expansion and economy of scales.
