Foxconn Technology Group said Friday it was considering an expansion of its operations in the United States.
The move comes just one day after Apple CEO Tim Cook's splashy announcement that Apple will begin making some Macs in the United States.
Foxconn plays a key role in Apple's supply chain in China, but its reputation has suffered in recent years as details of poor working conditionsat its factories have emerged.
"We can confirm that as a part of its long-term global expansion plans, Foxconn is exploring the opportunity to expand its existing manufacturing operations in the U.S., which have always been a part of our global manufacturing operations, to meet the needs of our customers and to leverage the high-value engineering talent that is available in that important market," the company said in a statement.
