In a statement, Hon Hai, the world's largest assembler of electronic devices which trades under the Foxconn name, said the new complex in Sao Paulo will house five production sites, and it will sign an agreement with Sao Paulo city on Thursday. It did not say which brand of products the site would make. Production will start in 2014 and reach full capacity in 2016.
