TSMC Operations Steady Post-Taiwan Earthquake
Chipmaker TSMC reported that its operations across Taiwan were unaffected by a recent 6.4 magnitude earthquake in the country. The quake caused minor damage and injuries. TSMC evacuated workers as a precaution and confirmed all sites are structurally safe, while utility systems are functioning normally.

In the wake of a 6.4 magnitude earthquake in southern Taiwan, TSMC, a leading chipmaker, announced on Tuesday that its operations remain intact. The quake, which struck a mountainous area, caused only minor damage and light injuries.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, a key supplier to tech giants Apple and Nvidia, evacuated workers from some sites as a precautionary measure. "Post-earthquake structural inspections have been completed at all sites, confirming that the structures are safe and operations are gradually resuming," the company stated in an email.
All utility systems, including water and power, are functioning normally, and regular operations continue following safety checks. Taiwan's fire department reported 27 injuries treated in hospitals, while power was restored for 30,000 households. Taiwan is no stranger to seismic activity due to its location near tectonic plate junctions.
