    According to Taiwan Media Economic Daily, on the evening of April 25, a fire accident was reported at the construction site of TSMC‘s Advanced Sealing and Testing Plant No. 6 in Zhunan, Taiwan, China, China. People reported that black smoke was emitted from the second floor of the plant.

    It is reported that black smoke emerged from the completed second floor of the main structure, and the construction unit stated that the floor has entered the project of pipeline configuration and machine installation.

    Miaoli County Fire Bureau in Taiwan, China, China pointed out that the burning area on the second floor of the site was about 300 square meters. The CPVC plastic pipeline of the PP machine was burned, and there was no dangerous goods. The fire was gradually controlled after the rescue by the drainage line.

    TSMC responded, "On the evening of the 25th, there was thick smoke on the construction site of the sixth factory, which was sealed off by the company. Fire trucks arrived at the site as soon as possible to handle it, and the evacuation was completed around 21:10 pm. There were no injuries or difficulties on the site, and the firefighters and site safety team have launched an investigation into the accident. In the future, TSMC will assist the contractor in clarifying the cause of the incident and ensuring the safety of the construction site

    It is reported that TSMC is located in Zhunan‘s Sealing and Testing Plant No. 6, which is under construction and will be an important base for TSMC‘s advanced sealing and testing in the future. The area is more than twice the total area of other sealing and testing plants. This project is a construction project that can bring considerable economic benefits to the local area of Zhunan. The impact of a fire on the completion schedule and TSMC‘s own losses needs to be evaluated.

    Recently, TSMC held its Q1 financial report, with revenue of NT $508.63 billion, a year-on-year increase of 3.6% and a month on month decrease of 18.7%. Net profit was NT $206.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 2.1% and a month on month decrease of 30%.

    TSMC stated that although the market is bottoming out and stabilizing, demand in the mobile and PC industries is still weak. Analysts say that as consumers and businesses tighten their budgets to cope with soaring inflation and potential global recession, TSMC, like other companies in the industry, is working hard to address the uncertainty of demand for electronic products.
