In January 2012, about 150 Foxconn employees threatened to commit mass-suicide in protest of their working conditions.
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. was founded in 1974 by Terry Gou as a manufacturer of electrical components (notably electrical connectors for computer components, which found use in the Atari 2600). Foxconn was originally a trade name of Hon Hai, and a subsidiary later received the name. Hon Hai's first manufacturing plant in mainland China opened in Longhua Town, Shenzhen, in 1988.
