Micron Technology Inc's manufacturing plant in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, saw record production despite the COVID-19 pandemic, further reiterating the US chipmaker's commitment to China, a top company official said.

The chipmaker took a series of measures to ensure the health and safety of its employees in the country at a very early stage of the outbreak, said Manish Bhatia, executive vice-president of global operations at Micron. The Xi'an chip packaging and testing plant has been operating at full capacity since January despite the epidemic.

"Our Xi'an plant was not shut for even a single day and none of our team members in China were infected by the virus," Bhatia said, adding that the company has mandated temperature scanning at its factories every day, and let employees wear masks from a very early stage.
