Foxconn Technology Group plans to donate 2 million medical
face masks to 40 Milwaukee area nonprofit and community groups.
The first 50,000 masks were delivered to the Milwaukee
Academy of Science, a public charter school, on Wednesday. Other deliveries are
scheduled for the coming weeks.
“During the height of the pandemic, Foxconn produced
approximately 13 million face masks in Mount Pleasant," the company said
in a press release.
"The company recognizes that even after the pandemic,
organizations still need masks that limit the transmission of respiratory
illnesses. As a member of the community, we are happy to make this donation and
thankful for the help of Advocate Health Care and Aurora Health Care in
identifying community organizations in need of masks."
In April 2020, Foxconn
donated 100,000 masks to the State of Wisconsin Emergency Operations
Center and has supported the Mount Pleasant South Shore Fire Department with
annual donations.
What else has Foxconn made in Wisconsin?
Aside from masks, Foxconn has produced microinverters and
data servers at its Mount Pleasant facility.
Foxconn
has also been making data servers for clients with data centers
operated by large-scale cloud management companies. The servers support
information storage, online video platforms, smart phone apps and other big
data functions.
