Unfortunately, because of Benq stopping to pay for the German division of the company filed for bankruptcy in a Munich court in 2006. This sparked a big debate in Germany over whether BenQ only acquired the Siemens mobile division for all its patents and IP, and that it didn't intend to continue manufacturing mobile phones in Germany. BenQ has stated that it intends to continue its mobile business from Asia.
On January 30, 2007, the BenQ Mobile factory in Kamp-Lintfort finally closed its doors, after no suitable investors for the German division were found. Representatives of the labor union IG Metall bid farewell to the last 165 workers with flowers.
Facilities
BenQ currently manufactures mobile phones in China (Shanghai). A sale of the Brazilian facilities (Manaus) is pending. It also has R&D facilities in Taiwan (Taipei) and China (Suzhou).
