Unimicron, a chip substrate and printed circuit board maker
that supplies Apple and Intel, said in a statement one plant had resumed some
production under a "closed loop management" system that keeps workers
isolated inside.
A company representative said it was difficult to estimate
current production capacity but it was "not high".
Unimicron plans to keep one plant closed and the other
running under the closed-loop system until next Wednesday.
Most of Unimicron's manufacturing capacity is located in
Taiwan but it also has plants in other parts of China as well as in Germany and
Japan.
China has put Shanghai under a tight lockdown since late
March and neighbouring Kunshan has also tightened curbs to control the
country's biggest COVID-19 outbreak since the coronavirus was discovered in
late 2019 in the city of Wuhan.
That had caused dozens of Taiwanese firms, many making parts
for the semiconductor and electronics industries, to suspend operations.
