Applied Optoelectronics confirms no material impact to operations from typhoon

Applied Optoelectronics confirmed that its facilities suffered no known damage from Typhoon Gaemi. In the early morning hours of Thursday, July 25, local time in Taiwan, Typhoon Gaemi came ashore in northeastern Taiwan. AOI operates an R&D, manufacturing, and administration facility in Taipei, TW, approximately 75 miles north of the location of the storm’s landfall. AOI’s facility suffered no known damage during the storm, and production operations are expected to continue as usual. “We are fortunate that Taipei was spared the worst of the storm’s destruction, and are pleased to report that our operations were not materially affected. However, our deepest sympathies go out to those affected in Taiwan and throughout Asia as the storm continues to be a menace,” commented Dr. Thompson Lin, Applied Optoelectronics founder, president and CEO.
