Samsung once operated three mobile phone manufacturing plants in China, one in Shenzhen, Tianjin and this last one in Huizhou. The factories in Shenzhen and Tianjin were both closed in 2018. The Huizhou plant located in the Guangdong province of China was opened in December 1992 and started production in 1993. It is presently the only functional Samsung production plant in China and around June this year, the company scaled down production at the plant with reports of workers getting laid off.
